A DC Superior Court judge denied a man’s motion for release on April 15.

Alexa Romano is charged with assault with the intent to kill, while using a firearm.

Judge Anita-Josey Herring denied his request to be released due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to court documents, on July 28, 2019, Romano shot four people, two of whom he did not know, during a dispute with two men who he claimed “touched” his cousin.

No one was fatally injured as a result of the shooting

A preliminary hearing is scheduled to occur on June 12.
