The prosecution in a murder case told the judge Jan. 15 that he expects a grand jury indictment by March.

Torey Stockton is charged with first-degree murder while armed for his alleged role in the death of 23-year-old Jasmine Light on the 2000 block of 16th Street, SE in 2018. According to court documents, Light was an unintended target of a drive-by shooting. Stockton’s co-defendant, Kayla Thompson, was indicted on an obstruction of justice charge.

During the hearing, the prosecutor also said he plans to hand over additional discovery evidence, including information about shell casings recovered from the crime scene.

Stockton is also charged with gun possession in another case stemming from the day of the murder as well as a 2017 incident, according to DC Courts.

In May of 2018, a grand jury indicted Stockton on three gun-related charges and obstruction of justice.

Stockton, 21, and Thompson are scheduled for a felony status conference on March 8.
