On Aug. 25, DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan decided to set another status hearing in two weeks to provide the prosecution and defense more time to gather information regarding upcoming court appearances.
Chakeatia Jackson, 39, and her son Jaquell Jackson, 20, are being charged with second-degree murder for their alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Tarquasha Chappell on Sep. 15, 2021 at the 1300 block of Brentwood Road, NE.
The prosecution requested a continuance for the trial date based on scheduling conflicts and argued they need more time to analyze the evidence. The prosecution is currently in possession of Chakeatia’s cell phone, and is currently attempting to crack and search the iPhone.
Judge Raffinan decided upon this request to set another status hearing date for Sep. 8.
