A carjacking defendant was denied pretrial release during a felony status conference before DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro on Feb. 20.
Tamika Burris, 35, is charged with armed carjacking for her alleged involvement in an incident on Feb. 17, 2024 on the 100 block of Kennedy Street, NW.
According to court documents, the victim and Burris got into a fight in the car after Burris allegedly attempted a carjacking and left a knife and her personal items behind after fleeing the scene.
Burris’ defense attorney, Quiana Harris, requested that Burris be released. Judge Di Toro, who was standing in for DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld, denied the request, citing Burris’ prior inability to comply with release conditions.
A plea was offered, but will not be further discussed by either party until the Grand Jury transcript is revealed later next week.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on March 3.
