On Aug. 30 DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt postponed a preliminary hearing since she had to stand in for another judge.
Marcus Martin, 27, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed for a non-fatal shooting that occurred on Jan. 11 on the 4200 block of East Capitol Street, NE. Two individuals sustained injuries during the incident.
According to court documents, the pistol that was allegedly used might match one that Martin had in his possession of at the time of his arrest.
Speaking on behalf of the investigating detective, the prosecutor clarified that the recovered bullet casings show only a potential match and need to undergo ballistics testing for confirmation.
Judge Brandt alerted the parties she was covering for another judge in part because several judicial appointments for the DC Superior Court are pending in Congress.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Friday Sept. 27.
