DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Pasichow delayed the start of a non-fatal shooting trial on July 8 in order for a material witness to be secured.
James Guillory, 24, is charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, two counts of possession of a firearm during crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm, and carrying a pistol without a license.
The charges stem from an incident on June 15, 2023, on the 4600 block of Hillside Road, SE, which left two people injured. One victim had a firearm injury to the thigh, and the other victim sustained a BB gun injury to the face, according to court documents.
The prosecution requested the case to be carried for a day to secure the missing witness.
Guillory’s attorneys, Varsha Govindaraju and Gail Engmann, objected that the prosecution was not doing their due diligence to secure the witness in a timely manner.
Judge Pasichow granted a one-day continuance and issued a material witness warrant.
Parties are set to reconvene on July 9.
