Shooting

Judge Allows Prosecution Time to Indict Shooting Case

 DC Superior Court Judge Carmen McLean granted prosecutors additional time to indict a shooting case on July 8. 

Hakim Johnson, 36, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that occurred on April 5, 2025 at the 3000 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE. The victim sustained a gunshot wound to the leg. 

Johnson was not present in court due to being in custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BoP). As a result, the prosecution got a time extension for the indictment which was supposed to expire on July 8, now with a new deadline on Aug. 27. 

The defense requested that the prosecution, if needed to, make any other disclosures of evidence for the case. 

Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Aug. 27 for indictment.
