On Aug. 28, a DC Superior Court judge continued a hearing for an assault with a dangerous weapon case that left three victims injured.

Weslee Wilkinson and his co-defendant, Azion Johnson, are charged with assault with a dangerous weapon in connection with a May 29 shooting on the 5100 Block of Fitch Street, SE. 

Wilkinson’s attorney, Julie Swaney, asked Judge Julie Becker to schedule another hearing for next week so both defendants could be arraigned at the same time.  

Judge Julie Becker scheduled the case’s next hearing for Sept. 2.

Both Wilkinson and Johnson are currently being held at DC Jail.
