On June 9, DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian dismissed a non-fatal shooting case without prejudice, meaning the matter could be heard later.

Richard Price, 24, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for allegedly shooting a female victim on June 1, 2022 on the 300 block of 56th Street NE.

The prosecution indicated that the case had not yet been indicted despite the deadline passing earlier this week. They said they did not intend to make a showing at the hearing.

Lisbeth Sapirstein, Price’s defense attorney, requested the case be dismissed without prejudice with no objection from the prosecution.

Judge Christian granted the request and dismissed the case without prejudice.
