DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz refused to release Rennwel Mantock from the DC Jail on April 4 because of the violent nature of the offense he is alleged to have committed.
Mantock, 30, is indicted on 14 counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, six counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, six counts of aggravated assault knowingly while armed, five counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, one count of unlawful possession of ammunition, one count of possession of an unregistered firearm and one count of carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in a mass shooting that occurred on April 26, 2024, on the 1200 block of Connecticut Ave, NW.
Mantock’s attorney, Margaret Anthony, requested more time to discuss with her client whether he wants to independently test the prosecution’s DNA evidence. Judge Kravitz gave the defense 11 more days to consider this decision.
Parties are slated to reconvene April 18.
