Once again, a carjacking defendant refused to show up before the court for a felony status conference scheduled for DC Superior Court Jennier Di Toro on Sept. 18.
Rasheed Jenkins, 26, is charged with carjacking and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in an incident that took place on the 5700 block of Eads Street, NE, on Jan. 31, 2022.
A US Marshal alerted Judge Di Toro that Jenkins refused to appear in court for the seventh time since April.
Parties discussed a report from the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), which requested an extension to continue observing Jenkins for health issues, as he had refused to be evaluated by doctors.
The parties are slated to reconvene on Oct. 31.
