A shooting defendant appeared before DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe on Sept. 25 to address multiple reports of noncompliance with his release terms.
Juaval Huff, 29, is charged with carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm, unlawful discharge of a firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition, for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on the 1300 block of Okie Street, NE, on April 22. One person sustained an injury.
According to court documents, ShotSpotter detected two gunshots and reported the sounds to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Once on scene, MPD officers located a person who was lying on the ground, suffering from a large bruise.
Allegedly, Huff pistol-whipped one victim causing the bruise and shot twice at another individual, but missed.
During the hearing, Huff’s parole officer filed a report of noncompliance, claiming Huff failed to attend drug-testing appointments or check in with him, and was arrested for other offenses in Maryland.
Huff’s defense attorney, Gregg Baron, said Huff wishes to negotiate another plea deal, since the previous one expired.
Judge Pipe allowed Huff to remain on release as parties continue to negotiate.
Parties are set to return on Oct. 16.
