Gerald Day pleaded not guilty to all charges during a felony arraignment held before DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro on Oct. 16.

Day, 33, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, accessory after the fact, threat to kidnap or injure a person, and carrying a pistol without a license, for his alleged involvement in a shooting that occurred on the intersection of O Street and Carrollsburg Place, SW on Oct. 29, 2023.

Defense attorney, Steven G Polin, stated that the case has been pending for 9 months and therefore was ready to set a trial date.

Judge Di Toro set a trial date for April 7 and consent to all protective orders were granted. 

Parties are slated to reconvene April 4.
