DC Superior Court Judge Eric Glover released a defendant in an assault and child endangerment case on Aug. 28.
Jamira Guillory, age 23, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during crime of violence or dangerous offense, carrying a pistol without a license outside of a home or place of business, second degree cruelty to children, possession of an unregistered firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition for her alleged involvement in a shooting at 18th Street and Bryant Street, NE on Aug. 24.
On the 24th, officers from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) were dispatched to the scene after receiving a report about a shooting and a possible vehicle accident. Upon arrival, the officers interviewed Guillory who allegedly dropped a cartridge, was subsequently arrested and informed officers of a firearm in her handbag. Police later reportedly confirmed that the firearm was unregistered and that Guillory did not have a license to carry it.
During the preliminary hearing, the defense requested the court release the hold on the defendant, and the court agreed on the condition that the defendant not be in possession of a firearm or ammunition during her release.
The parties are set to reconvene on Oct. 16.
