Non-Fatal Shooting
|
A defendant in a non-fatal shooting has pleaded not guilty following a five count indictment on Jan. 27 before DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur.
Dupre Jones, 26, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, second-degree cruelty to children, unlawful possession of a firearm by a convict, and unlawful discharge of a firearm for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on the 4500 block of First Street, SW, on Oct 11, 2024.
Adgie O’Bryant, Jones’ attorney, alerted the court of Jones’ intent to plead not guilty to all charges, asserting his constitutional rights, including the right to a speedy trial.
O’Bryant also filed a motion to suppress all tangible evidence found during a search warrant in Jones’ home; the prosecution has until Feb. 4 to respond.
All parties will reconvene on Feb. 10.
