On Dec. 9, a DC Superior Court judge vacated a status hearing in a burglary case.

Deonte Little, 23, allegedly robbed the same residence on the 5200 block of 5th Street, NW on three separate occasions. On Aug. 18, 2018, items stolen from the house included an iPad, a cell phone, a set of car keys, a laptop and the home owner’s manual for a Toyota Corolla. On Oct. 13, 2018, Little is accused of stealing an Android cell phone and charger, house and car keys and a Toyota Camry. On Oct. 18, 2018, he is accused of taking an alarm system, an Amazon kindle, an Xbox 360, a Droid cell phone and a Nissan Versa. 

During the Aug. 18 and Oct. 13 incidents, the homeowner was asleep while the offense was taking place. During the Oct. 18 incident, the homeowner returned home and noticed that his basement window was broken and his door was wide open.

Little pleaded guilty to first-degree burglary on March 13. He has been held in DC jail since charges were filed on Jan. 1.
