A suspect in the non-fatal shooting of a teen was denied requests for release and case dismissal during a hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan on Nov. 25.
Anthony Goncalves, 51, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed against a minor, aggravated assault knowingly while armed against a minor, two counts possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and unlawful possession of a firearm for his alleged involvement in the non-fatal shooting of a juvenile on the 3900 block of Minnesota Avenue NE, on Nov. 29, 2023.
Goncalve submitted a motion to dismiss his charges on the basis that the prosecution has insufficient evidence connecting him to the incident. Judge Raffinan denied the request.
Goncalves also submitted a motion requesting released, claiming, “the prosecution has failed to establish probable cause.” Judge Raffinan turned down the motion.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Feb. 4, 2025.
