On Feb. 22, a prosecutor in a murder case said he is making “substantial progress” in securing a grand jury indictment.
Dazmine Anderson is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged role in the death of 30-year-old Jean-Claude Jackson on the 1300 block of Good Hope Road, SE on Oct. 7, 2018. Anderson, 16, is being charged as an adult.
The prosecutor didn’t clarify the details of the “progress” he made.
According to court documents, a witness said a group of “young guys” robbed an unidentified individual and that a group of bystanders, including Jackson, were trying to stop them. The witness said the group of bystanders caught one of the robbers and there was a struggle. Apparently, shortly after the struggle, the witness noticed that Jackson was suffering from multiple stab wounds.
Anderson is scheduled for a felony status conference on June 7.
