Parties delayed sentencing in a 2025 non-fatal shooting case near a school before DC Superior Judge Errol Arthur on March 16.
Wilson Dodson, 45, pleaded guilty on Dec. 6, 2025 to assault with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction greater than one year for his involvement in a shooting that occurred near Sela Public Charter Elementary School, at the intersection of Peabody Street and Chillum Place, NE on May 22, 2025.
Dodson fired five shots towards an SUV that was occupied by two people and toward another individual who was on a motorized scooter. No injuries were reported.
The hearing was called two hours after it was scheduled. The prosecution requested a continuance due to an important appointment later that day that would have interfered with the current hearing.
After confirming Judge Arthur had not reviewed the previously submitted pre-sentence report, the prosecution renewed its request for a continuance to allow time for review and accommodate scheduling.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene for sentencing on April 7.
