In a June 22 hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur, a shooting defendant was detained by US Marshals for an unrelated matter in Maryland.
Shalamar Brown, 31, is charged with endangerment with a firearm for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting at the 4600 block of Hillside Road, SE on Feb. 21. No injuries were reported but 15 rounds of gunfire were detected.
In court, both parties approached the bench for a discussion under the husher, Judge Arthur mentioned that Brown had “an extraditable warrant” and stated that “he has to be taken into custody.”
US Marshals then detained Brown to transport him to Maryland, the jurisdiction issuing the warrant.
Before Brown was taken into custody, Brown’s attorney, Sean McCliggott, stated that he had only recently received body-worn camera footage evidence from the prosecution. He requested more time to review the footage, and the court agreed to continue the hearing.
McCliggott, anticipating possible action from the prosecution, also explained that there was no plea deal that they would likely weigh in future hearings.
The parties are scheduled to reconvene on Aug. 13.
