On Oct. 14, prosecutors said they are in the process of securing an indictment after receiving DNA results in regards to a 2021 homicide case.
Amard Jefferson, 23, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting his girlfriend’s friend, 20-year-old Kendall Brown, on Aug. 7, 2021, on the 3000 block of Nelson Place SE, where Jefferson resided with his girlfriend. According to court documents, the shooting occurred after a verbal altercation between Brown and Jefferson concerning some missing items.
The defense requested a full DNA report. There is also a possibility the defense will conduct independent DNA testing.
DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun scheduled the next hearing for Jan. 20.
