DC Superior Court Andrea Hertzfeld issued a bench warrant for a non-fatal shooting defendant for failing to appear in court on Feb. 9.
Alison Onunaku, 27, was charged with carrying a pistol without a license, unlawful possession of an unregistered firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and unlawful discarding of firearm or ammunition for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting located on the unit block of Galveston Street, SW on June 1, 2024.
According to court documents, police conducted a routine patrol when they heard gunshots. They found Onunaku allegedly attempting to conceal a firearm by tucking it into his waistband.
During the status hearing, Judge Hertzfeld vacated Onunaku’s March. 30 trial date and issued the warrant after learning that Onunaku is currently incarcerated in another jurisdiction.
