DC Superior Court Judge Eric Glover found that the prosecution provided sufficient evidence to detain a shooting defendant in an initial presentment hearing on April 22.

Alonte Miller, 21, is charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a shooting that took place on Saturday, April 20 on the 3000 block of Stanton Road, SE and injured two females. 

According to court documents, the shooting stemmed from a verbal and physical altercation regarding one of the victims refusing to “hook up” with Miller’s friend. 

During his presentment hearing, Judge Glover found probable cause for the two charges Miller faces and ordered him detained pending further proceedings. 

Parties are expected to return on April 25, 2024 for a preliminary hearing.
