A DC Superior Court judge continued a felony status conference as the prosecution confirmed they were moving towards returning an indictment. 

Terrell Poe, 34, is charged with first-degree murder while armed in the shooting of 33-year-old Christopher Washington on Sept. 23, 2020, on the 400 block of Southern Avenue, SE.

During the March 17 proceedings, defense attorney Madalyn Harvey requested an update on when the prosecution thinks there will be an indictment. 

“The investigation is continuing… it is proceeding forward at a normal pace,” the prosecution said. 

The prosecutor could not provide details or a definite deadline but assured the court,  “We’re moving along. We’re doing the best we can.” 

The next hearing is scheduled for May 25.
