On Oct. 2, a DC Superior Court judge continued a status conference to determine how to move forward with a shooting case.
Quincy Walters, 38, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed for allegedly shooting one victim in the head and another in the back on April 12 on the 1300 block of Congress Street, SE.
The first victims’ injuries were severe, including fractures to the orbital bone and significant swelling of the brain. The victim was admitted to the ICU and was in a coma during the initial investigation. D.C. Witness is unable to confirm, at this time, if the victim remains in a coma.
Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers responded to the crime scene after gunfire location technology picked up 16 gunshots and the victims were seen by neighbors.
Officers found shell casings at the entrance of an alley. Security footage allegedly showed Walters fire into the alley multiple times. A witness also identified Walters through the footage.
Walters said he was robbed at gunpoint by a group of juveniles ten minutes before the shooting occurred and that he had nothing to do with the crime, according to court documents.
Walters is being held at DC Jail, where he has been for almost five months.
Judge John Campbell scheduled the next status hearing for Nov. 12.
