DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson wouldn’t terminate the probation of a non-fatal shooting defendant on April 23.
Javonee Jackson, 26, accepted a sealed plea agreement in March 2025 for her involvement in the shooting of her baby’s father on May 10, 2023 at the 700 block of 7th Street, NW. She was originally charged with assault with intent to kill, among nine other charges. The terms of the plea are not accessible.
During the hearing, a representative from the Pretrial Service Agency (PSA) confirmed that Jackson has been compliant with the terms of her probation, and recommended that her show cause be discharged.
Jackson’s attorney, Alvin Thomas, requested that Jackson’s probation be terminated. Currently, her probation is scheduled to end in December 2026.
The PSA representative stated that Jackson is currently on bed rest due to her pregnancy, and is temporarily unable to attend her anger management and grief counseling classes. Judge Dayson ruled against Thomas’ request due to the fact that Jackson has not yet completed her mandatory classes.
No further dates have been set at this point.
