Shooting co-defendants appeared in court before DC Superior Court Judge Renee Raymond on Jan. 30, and requested a transfer to the DC Jail’s Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF) with stepped-down security given their gunshot wounds.
Reco Jackson, 26, and Raquan Felder, 32, are charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. Jackson is also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a convict, and Felder is charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside home or business. The counts stem from their alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that occurred on Jan. 25 on the 4400 block of 19th Place, NE, after an argument with another individual..
Jackson sustained a gunshot wound to the upper left arm, and Felder sustained a wound to the left foot after a third person is said to have shot them both.
Jackson’s attorney, Kavya Naini, requested Jackson be transferred to the CTF given that his gunshot wound requires more extensive medical care than can be provided at the DC Jail. Santia McLaurin – who stood in for Felder’s attorney, Darryl Daniels, requested the same, stating that the gauze on his wound had not been changed in multiple days.
Judge Raymond will consider the requests, and the preliminary hearing was rescheduled to Feb. 5.
