DC Superior Judge Erik Christian issued a bench warrant for a missing defendant on Nov. 21.
Vonceaco Hill, 25, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a pistol outside of a residence or business, for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting on July 19, 2019 on the 1800 block of 7th Street, NW. One individual sustained injuries.
Hill pled guilty to these charges on Aug. 12, 2019, in front of DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe. In 2020, Hill received a suspended sentence of 36 months of incarceration with three years of supervised release, and five years of probation.
Hill’s probation conditions were to attend anger management and be assessed for substance abuse. On release, Hill was supposed to earn a high school diploma through Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA), obtain a mentor through CSOSA’s Faith Based Initiative Mentoring Program, perform community service hours, and to register as a gun offender. If Hill were to be fully compliant within three years, his probation would be terminated early.
During the hearing, a representative from CSOSA informed the Court they were not able to locate Hill despite multiple attempts.
Judge Christian issued a bench warrant with no bond for Hill.
Hill’s attorney, Anthony Dimillio, was unable to persuade the court otherwise.
Parties will reconvene when Hill is in custody.
