DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe revoked a non-fatal shooting defendant’s probation in an Aug. 23 hearing for noncompliance while on release.

On Jan. 29, 2021, Jordan Therman, 25, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his involvement in a shootout at a Shell Gas Station on the 4700 block of South Capitol Street, SE, which resulted in one person’s being hospitalized on May 2, 2019.

The prosecution expressed concern about Therman’s remaining on release due to his failure to comply with probation conditions. According to the prosecution, Therman missed multiple required meetings and failed to submit urine for drug testing. 

During the hearing, Therman conceded that he’s been noncompliant. As a result, the judge revoked Therman’s probation.

The case is continued for sentencing to give the prosecution time to get a victim impact statement. 

Parties are set to reconvene on Sept. 12 for sentencing.
