Thank you for reading D.C. Witness. Help us continue our mission into 2024.

DC Superior Court Judge Kimberley Knowles ordered that Tramayne Moore remain in custody after probation officers said Moore, who pleaded guilty in two domestic violence incidents, had not been compliant with the terms of his parole.

Moore, 24, was originally charged with unlawful discharge of a firearm and simple assault in connection with an incident that occurred on April 4, 2021 on the 400 block of Brandywine Street, SE.

According to court documents Moore got into an argument with a woman over his unwanted sexual advances. Then he allegedly tried to strangle her, fired several shots near her, and drove away. Moore ultimately pleaded guilty to simple assault.

In a subsequent case, Moore pleaded guilty to contempt for allegedly violating his release conditions.

“He’s going to be held in this case,” said Judge Knowles in a May 31 hearing regarding a bench warrant for Knowles’ arrest.

Moore’s next court appearance will be on June 6.
