Two shooting defendants alerted DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson they intended to waive their rights to independently test DNA evidence during a hearing on Feb. 5.
Tyshay Moore, 27, and Javonee Jackson, 25, are charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, four counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, conspiracy, and simple assault in connection to a non-fatal shooting on May 10, 2023 on the 700 block of 7th Street, NW.
According to court documents, the shooting stemmed from a domestic disturbance between Jackson and her child’s father, during which Moore allegedly shot him.
The prosecution said they had recovered a firearm and were planning to have it tested for both DNA and bullet testing.
When Judge Dayson asked, both Jackson and Moore waived their rights for their own evaluation of the evidence.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene for a motions hearing on March 7.
