Shooting Defendant’s Detention in Maryland Impedes Case

A shooting defendant’s attorney alerted DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro that the suspect is currently held in another jurisdiction in a hearing on Feb. 3. 

Donte Evans, 36, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, two counts of possession of a firearm during crime of violence, threat to kidnap or injure a person, and unlawful possession of a firearm for his alleged involvement in a shooting on April 23, 2023 on the 3500 block of Stanton Road, SE. One victim sustained a gunshot wound. 

According to court documents, a notice of non-compliance was filed on Jan. 30. 

In the hearing, Brandon Burrell, Evans’ attorney, alerted Judge Di Toro that he remains detained in Prince George’s County, Maryland, and requested additional time to access information regarding the case. 

Judge Di Toro noted that Evans was arrested on a probation violation warrant and taken into custody.   

Parties are slated to reconvene on Feb. 18.
