On Dec. 6, DC Superior Court Judge Lloyd U Nolan, Jr decided to hold a homicide defendant during a presentment hearing.

Anthony Goncalves, 51, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting of a juvenile at the 3900 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE. 

According to court documents, the victim was waiting to get on the bus when someone began shooting at him. He was shot nine times. There is no known connection between Goncalves and the victim.

Judge Nolan decided there is enough evidence to determine probable cause and decided to hold Goncalves until his preliminary hearing. 

A preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 18 in front of DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan
