On April 5, before DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe, the prosecution said it’s likely two non-fatal shooting cases will be dismissed.
Emerson Morales, 20, and Jexon Madrid-Flores, 22, are charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, criminal street gang affiliation and carrying a pistol without a license for their alleged involvement in a drive-by shooting that occurred on the 5700 block of 14th Street, NW, on May 21, 2021. One individual sustained non-life threatening injuries from the incident.
In the hearing, the prosecution claimed that both co-defendant’s cases will likely be dismissed.
According to the prosecution, Morales pleaded guilty in a federal matter, and disclosed that the deal included the dismissal of this case.
However, the prosecution filed for a continued status hearing to wait for Madrid-Flores’ trial in his federal matter to be complete.
The prosecution concluded that they will most likely be dismissing that case, but will base their decision when Madrid-Flores’ trial concludes.
Parties are slated to return May 31.
