On Nov. 13, DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur ordered a full mental competency exam for a non-fatal shooting defendant.
Jonathan Johnson, 19, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a shooting that occurred on May 17, on the 5300 block of Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue, NE. The incident left one individual suffering from non-life threatening injuries.
The reasoning behind the mental competency order is unknown. All matters regarding the order were discussed ex parte with both parties.
Parties are set to return Jan. 12 to discuss the results of the exam.
