A non-fatal shooting defendant’s probation was extended by DC Superior Court Judge Carmen Mclean on March 17, following probation violations.
Taheim Parker, 22, pleaded guilty on Oct. 14, 2021 to unlawful discharge of a firearm and carrying a pistol without a license outside his home or business for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting that occurred on the 100 block of U Street, NE on May 20, 2021. No injuries were reported in connection to the incident.
According to a representative from the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA), Parker has not completed the domestic violence program required for probation. He has allegedly been in and out of the program several times due to noncompliance, and the program may not accept him for reenrollment.
According to the prosecution, Parker was recently enrolled in an alternate domestic violence intervention program, but could not complete it due to financial hardship.
Judge McLean ruled that Parker’s probation will be extended 60 days and parties will return to discuss if he has been reaccepted into the CSOSA program.
Parties are slated to reconvene May 16.
