On July 27, defendant Adrian Wade pleaded not guilty to all charges against him, including assault with intent to kill.

Wade, 28, is charged for his alleged connection to the shooting of an individual, which occurred on the 200 block of K street, SW on April 27, 2022. 

Before DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun, Wade asserted his 6th Amendment rights to a speedy trial. Wade also waived his right to independently test DNA evidence in his case.

Parties are expected to return on Oct. 11.
