During a felony status conference June 27, the prosecution informed the judge that he is working towards an indictment.
Collin Potter, 27, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly stabbing Vongell Lugo, 36. The stabbing occurred on Jan. 6 on the 2800 block of Wisconsin Avenue, NW.
The prosecution said he expects to have an indictment in August, eight weeks before the deadline in October. Defense attorney, Matthew Davies, had no objection.
In response to DC Superior Court Judge Juliet Mckenna’s inquiry about the status of DNA testing, the prosecutor said he would provide an initial report by the indictment deadline.
The prosecution also said all the evidence would be provided to the defense with the indictment.
Potter’s next status hearing is scheduled on Aug. 23.
