DC Superior Court Judge Robert Salerno granted a shooting defendant’s request to modify his release conditions after he entered a not guilty plea in a felony arraignment of the charges against him hearing Jan. 22.
Onterrio Wilkinson, 20, is charged with endangerment with a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a pistol without a license, unlawful discharge of a firearm, possession of an unregistered firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition for his alleged involvement in a Sept. 28, 2024 non-fatal shooting, which occurred on the 1900 block of Half Street, SW.
Wilkinson entered into a not-guilty plea for all six charges listed in the indictment.
Defense attorney Erica Arensman argued that the defendant’s behavior on release had been “if not completely perfect, close to perfect,” requesting Wilkinson’s release conditions to be modified and for his GPS monitor to be removed.
Despite the prosecution’s petition to retain GPS monitoring, Judge Salerno granted the defense’s request.
Parties are slated to reconvene Sept. 26 for a trial readiness hearing.
