Judge Rules Probable Cause In A Shooting Case 

DC Superior Court Judge Eric Glover ruled there was sufficient evidence for probable cause that a suspect committed a shooting during a hearing on Aug. 22. 

Tyquan Wiggins, 19, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon (firearm) and possession of firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a shooting on May 30, 2023, on the 1300 block of 5th Street, NW. A victim suffered a gunshot wound. 

During the hearing, the prosecution introduced evidence during a detective’s testimony, including video footage from inside a convenience store near the incident location and footage from outside the convenience store on the block where the incident occurred. 

Judge Glover also ruled that to maintain the safety of the community, the defendant would continue to be held. 

Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Sept. 5 for a status hearing.
