A defendant in a robbery case pleaded not guilty to all 24 charges before DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro.
Jalique Wiseman, 19, is charged with multiple counts of robbery, robbery while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, assault with a dangerous weapon, and credit card fraud for his alleged involvement in 18 separate incidents that occurred between Oct 2, 2023 and Nov 28, 2023. The robberies occurred near Girard Street and Franklin Streets, NE, most happening on or near the Metropolitan Branch Trial in the 5th District.
According to court documents, Wiseman along with another accomplice allegedly stole a variety of items, mostly phones and some wallets. Wiseman would reportedly demanded the victim’s phone passcode and use associated Venmo accounts to send money to various accounts, including “MALIQUE-WISEMAN-,1,” according to court documents. Other forms of transferring money were also used in the crimes.
During one of the robberies, the victim told detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) that he heard two shots while running away from the robbers after he was robbed near the 600 block of Girard Street, NE.
On June 27, Wiseman was indicted on 24 charges and pleaded not guilty to all charges. The prosecution indicated that there is additional evidence that would be shared with the defense.
Parties are slated to return Aug 13.
