A DC Superior Court judge gave a prosecutor one more week to indict a murder defendant.

Terrell Poe, 34, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for his alleged role in the shooting of 30-year-old Christopher Washington on Sept. 23, 2020, on the 400 block of Southern Avenue, SE.

During the Nov. 30 hearing, the prosecutor requested more time to file indictment charges. Judge Milton Lee granted them a week to get it done.

Madalyn Harvey, Poe’s attorney, indicated that she still needs evidentiary materials. The prosecutor said they do not know when it will all be available at this time.

Poe is scheduled to return to court on Jan. 7 for a felony status conference.
