D.C. Man Charged with Killing Two Brothers

            WASHINGTON – Ronzoni Allen Jackson Jr., 24, of the Washington, D.C. area, was arrested yesterday on charges of first degree murder while armed stemming from the shooting homicides of two brothers - 28-year-old Octavio and 35-year-old Osmine Quintano - just after midnight, on Tuesday, December 12, 2023, near The Pollo Company at 2314 4^th Street NE,

            U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves announced. 

            Defendant Jackson was arraigned on two counts of premeditated first degree murder while armed in D.C. Superior Court, Courtroom C-10, where he entered a plea of not guilty.  The Honorable Magistrate Judge Judith Pipe found probable cause that the defendant committed the two murders and held him without bond pending his preliminary hearing on January 2, 2024 at 9:30 a.m., before Judge Epstein in Courtroom 233.  

            An arrest on a complaint is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed a violation of criminal laws and every defendant is presumed innocent until, and unless, proven guilty.

            In announcing the arrest, U.S. Attorney Graves commended the work of those investigating the case from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and Assistant United States Attorney Sarah Santiago for her efforts in prosecuting this case.
