A shooting defendant must wait another week to hear a ruling from DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan on whether his release conditions will be modified to accommodate his work schedule.
Vann Allen, 35, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, four counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, and assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on Nov. 11, 2023.According to police reports, one victim was wounded on the 1400 block of New York Avenue, NE.
On Oct. 15, Michelle Lockard, Allen’s attorney, argued for Allen’s release conditions to be modified to allow him to work more flexible hours at his restaurant management job.
The prosecution argued against modifying Allen’s release conditions, asserting that current conditions were successful and therefore shouldn’t be changed.
Judge Raffinan said she would rule on the matter when parties reconvene on Oct. 23
