A shooting defendant’s release to home confinement request was denied by DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur on Nov. 6. 

Anthony Gary, 27, is charged with aggravated assault knowingly while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a shooting incident on the 3700 block of Jay Street, NE, on March 22. One individual sustained multiple injuries during the incident. 

Gary’s defense attorney, Raymond Jones, requested that Gary be released on GPS monitoring to his home. Judge Arthur denied this request as the defendant is currently held for another case on unrelated charges, adding that no conditions of release can ensure the safety of the community. 

Parties are set to reconvene on Dec. 4.
