The defendant in a non-fatal shooting case failed to appear in court before DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.
Kristian Allen, 33, was sentenced to 20 months in February 2023 for one count of attempted assault with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting that occurred on Oct. 8, 2022 on the 7400 block of Georgia Avenue, NW.
A probation show cause hearing was scheduled for March 12 to discuss potential violations of Allen’s probation. Despite that, Allen failed to appear in court as scheduled, and a probation violation and bench warrant were issued.
Allen is currently being held in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Parties will reconvene when Allen is transferred back to DC.
