DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro granted a shooting defendant’s attorney’s request to delay trial for a week on June 3, since the attorney wasn’t ready and needed more time to prepare.
Shaqunda Reed, 32, is charged with carrying a pistol without a license and carrying a dangerous weapon for her alleged involvement in a shooting that occurred on March 2, 2024, on the 800 block of Florida Avenue, NW.
According to court documents, Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers responded to the scene for the report of a shooting, where they located evidence including cartridge casings. No injuries were reported.
In what was supposed to be the first day of trial, Sara Kopecki, Reed’s attorney, alerted Judge Di Toro that she wasn’t able to move forward at this time. The prosecution did not have any objections to the delay, and Judge Di Toro granted the request.
Parties are slated to reconvene June 9.
