DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian ordered a shooting case would go to trial after the prosecution decided to not extend a plea deal on June 26
Tyquan Jennings, 25, is charged with carrying a dangerous weapon outside home or place of business, for his alleged involvement in an incident that took place on the 3000 Block of Stanton Road, SE, on March 8, 2023.
On June 26, Jennings and his defense attorney, Nathaniel Mensah, motioned to set a trial date for the case.
According to court documents, surveillance footage and witnesses identify Jennings shooting a large firearm. This evidence links him to a shooting that wounded a woman’s left leg. At the scene of the incident, a 9mm handgun and .40 caliber cartridge casings were found where Jennings was allegedly seen shooting.
Parties are slated to begin trial on Oct. 8.
