Prosecutors Thursday said there was not enough evidence to hold Bobby Coley on a murder charge in a 1975 case.
Terry is accused of shooting Jhonte Coleman, 34, of Suitland in the 1300 block of Connecticut Ave. NW about 2:30 a.m Nov. 27, police said.
That night, Coleman was at Heritage India — which was operating as an after-hours party spot — helping another friend celebrate his 30th birthday, Coleman’s childhood friend Kevin Bost told The Post. A fight broke out, Bost said, and people moved onto the sidewalk, where the violence continued.
Bost said he saw a man pull a pistol from his waistband and he ran. A bullet struck Bost in the leg, but he saw Coleman on the ground. In addition to the shooting, three people were stabbed that night, police said.
After the incident, Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier exercised emergency powers to close Heritage India, but it has since reopened.
