A D.C. Superior Court judge on Friday ordered a 20-year-old Northeast woman charged with first-degree murder held in D.C. jail.
Judge Michael Rankin ordered Takia V. Neeley held in the Sept. 13 shooting death of Jason Liser.
According to investigators, Neeley told detectives that Liser, 32, had threatened her before she shot him multiple times on the front steps of a building in the 4000 block of Minnesota Ave. NE and walked away.
The gun used in the shooting was not found, Rankin said, and so he was concerned about the public's safety should Neeley be allowed to stay in a halfway house or returned home under electronic monitoring.
A follow-up hearing was scheduled for Feb. 19 as prosecutors gather evidence to present the case to a grand jury in hopes of obtaining an indictment.
