DNA results on evidence recovered from a murder scene would be available in October, the prosecution said.
Marquette Jordan is charged with second-degree murder for allegedly stabbing Ivan Lynch on the 900 block of 5th Street, SE on April 30. According to court documents, Lynch, 48, was stabbed twice in the chest and twice in the back. The incident apparently followed a physical altercation between the two men.
The prosecution said it would file an indictment after the evidence is tested.
Defense attorney Jeffrey Stein submitted a motion for District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Milton Lee to release Jordan, 26, due to mitigating circumstances.
Judge Lee said the motion would be heard at a felony status conference scheduled on Sept. 28.
