DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro denied a shooting defendant’s request for release during a status hearing on July 6.
Toron Taylor, 18, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly shooting his mother in the leg on May 30 at the 4600 block of 6th Street, SE.
Taylor’s attorney, Georgia Rochon, requested that Taylor be released while plea negotiations are still in discussion. The prosecutor opposed the motion to release, noting that Taylor’s release had previously been revoked.
Judge Di Toro denied Taylor’s request for release.
Parties are slated to reconvene on July 15.
