A murder defendant pleaded not guilty to charges in a superseding indictment, an altered allegation, before DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson on Aug. 28.
Alfred Paulino-Del Rosario, 23, is charged with felony murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, armed carjacking, attempt to commit robbery while armed, and four counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Jhonatan Guzman Hernandez. The incident occurred on Dec. 30, 2022, on the 1400 block of Clifton Street, NW.
During the hearing, Varsha Govindaraju, Paulino-Del Rosario’s attorney, alerted the court of his intent to plead not guilty to all charges, and asserted his constitutional rights.
Parties are slated to reconvene Jan. 11.
