A shooting defendant’s probation was continued by DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson on March 27 as she awaits the results of a simple assault trial.
Javonee Jackson, 26, accepted a sealed plea agreement in early 2025 for her involvement in the shooting of her oldest child’s father on May 10, 2023 at the 700 block of 7th Street, NW. She was originally charged with assault with intent to kill, and the terms of the plea are not accessible.
Jackson was additionally charged with simple assault and threats to do bodily harm in a separate case on Nov. 11, 2025.
At her probation hearing, a representative from the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) said Jackson had been compliant with her probation, despite her new arrest. Jackson is enrolled in anger management and grief counseling and had negative drug tests, the representative said.
Judge Dayson said she would follow CSOSA’s recommendation to wait for the results of Jackson’s new case, set to go to trial on April 23, before deciding on her probation. There were no objections to allowing CSOSA to handle further probation actions if Jackson is found not guilty.
Jackson did not object to the schedule, but alerted Judge Dayson that she could give birth around the time of her trial. She and her attorney, Alvin Thomas, said they would coordinate and contact the court if any scheduling changes are needed.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on April 23.
