Non-Fatal Shooting

2010 Shooting Defendant Won’t Go to Court

DC Superior Court Judge Park delayed a preliminary hearing on Feb. 4 for a non-fatal shooting defendant who refused to be transported from the DC Jail. 

Terry Greene, 36, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a June 7, 2010, non-fatal shooting on the 5800 block of Fields Place NE, where one person was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

According to court documents, a witness who had known the suspect for five years reported seeing the victim walking with three others near the incident location, including a man known as “Terry,” who appeared to have a handgun under his shirt. Minutes after the group left the witness’s view, the witness heard gunshots and allegedly saw Terry running between buildings holding a gun. The witness later found the victim shot in an alley behind the building.

Since he refused to be transported, parties agreed they could not hear an officer’s testimony at the hearing without the defendant’s presence. 

Parties are slated to reconvene Feb. 12.
