DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian denied June 26 a defendant’s release and transferred the case to DC Superior Court Judge Demeo for trial.  

Jordan Therman, 25, is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and assault with a dangerous weapon, for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that injured two individuals on Feb. 7 on the 3900 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SW. 

According to court documents, the victims entered a 7-Eleven store to make a purchase. As they were leaving the store, they allegedly spotted Therman wearing a ski mask but didn’t feel threatened because they spotted a Metropolitan Police Department ( MPD) cruiser near the parking lot. 

As the victims entered their vehicle, Therman allegedly said “I’ll kill everybody in that car,” before shooting. 

Parties are slated to return June 28.
