DC Superior Court Judge Carmen McLean ordered a full mental health evaluation for a carjacking defendant on June 18.
Shannara Macku, 37, is charged with unarmed carjacking and assault on a police officer for her alleged involvement in an incident that occurred on Oct. 19, 2024 on the 2400 block of 18th Street, NW.
Judge McLean heard briefly from the DC Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) that recommended a full mental health evaluation for Macku and had already set aside a time.
Judge McLean happily agreed saying this is a great step towards getting help for Macku.
Parties are slated to reconvene July 30.
