DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park alerted parties in a shooting case that the defendant was returned to the DC Jail on May 7, after he refused to go along with a courthouse search.
Demann Shelton, 32, is charged with three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, seven counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction. These charges stem from Shelton’s alleged involvement in a shooting that took place on Nov. 9, 2020 on the 3000 block of 14th street, NW.
Shelton’s attorney, Emily Sufrin, explained that he was transported to the courthouse for his detention hearing before Judge Park. However, once Shelton arrived at the courthouse, he refused to be searched.
Judge Park agreed to set a new date.
Parties are slated to reconvene May 22.
