Jury Acquits Shooting Suspect on Most Charges

A jury rendered a not guilty verdict for the primary charges in a non-fatal shooting before DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe on Oct. 8. 

Dominick Jackson, 41, was originally charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm in an intrafamily offense, and obstructing justice for his alleged involvement in a shooting that occurred on Nov. 20, 2022, on the 700 block of 12th Street, NE.

However, the jury acquitted Jackson of all charges, except obstructing justice.  

In light of the verdict, Judge Pipe allowed Jackson’s GPS monitor to be removed. 

Parties are slated to reconvene to see if the prosecution decides to refile the case on Dec. 12.
