A shooting defendant’s preliminary hearing was rescheduled on Sept. 5 to allow a detained defense witness to be present in front of DC Superior Court Judge Renee Raymond.
Donnell Antonio Wells, 35, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that injured three men. The incident occurred on Aug. 1 on the 500 block of Newcomb Street, SE.
According to court documents, Wells was arrested after sustaining gunshot wounds on Aug. 1 on the 3900 block of South Capitol Street, SE, moments after the original shooting occurred.
At the hearing, Brandon Burrell, Wells’ defense attorney, requested a continuance to discuss with the detained witness’ attorney about conditions for the individual to appear in court to testify. The witness is being held at the DC Jail due to a traffic violation, further information is uncertain.
Parties are set to reconvene on Sept. 19 for a preliminary hearing.
