On Oct. 16, Antoine Johnson was arraigned before DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian.
Johnson, 27, is charged with two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, four counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, unlawful discharge of a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of an unregistered firearm, carrying a pistol without a license outside of home or business, and unlawful possession of ammunition.
These thirteen charges are for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that resulted in one person being injured on May 21 on the I-695 Bridge Southbound near exit 2B.
Johnson’s defense attorney, Matthew Rist, alerted the court that Johnson pleaded not guilty to all charges and asserted his constitutional rights, including the right to a speedy trial.
The parties will meet for a status hearing on Oct. 19.
