DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park revoked a shooting defendant’s release on Sept. 10, citing multiple release condition violations.
Mekhi Wilkins,18, is charged with carrying a pistol without a license, unlawful discharge of a firearm, possession of an unregistered firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, for his alleged involvement in a shooting that occurred on Aug. 20 on the 200 block of 37th Place, SE. An individual sustained non-threatening injuries during the incident.
According to court documents, the victim sought help from an officer away from the scene and was treated for minor injuries.
During the hearing, Judge Park alerted the parties he was revoking Wilkins’ release due to multiple alerts of noncompliance by a representative of the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA). It is unclear what conditions were violated.
Parties are slated to reconvene Oct. 11.
