Shooting Defendant Released Following Mistrial

A non-fatal shooting defendant was released by DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe on Feb. 24, following a mistrial.

Dayquan Henderson, 23, is charged with four counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, four counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, endangerment with a firearm in a public place, and carrying a pistol without a license for his alleged involvement in a nonfatal shooting on the 300 block of Anacostia Road, SE, on May 11, 2024. No injuries were reported.

On Feb. 21, Judge Pipe declared a mistrial after a jury was unable to reach an unanimous verdict on the charges.

During the hearing, Henderson’s attorney, Daniel Kovler, requested Henderson be released as the parties decide how to move forward. Kovler reported that Henderson had a place to stay and that the individual he will live with is helping him get a job. Kovler requested a slight adjustment to the home confinement order so as to allow greater access to facilities at the residence.

The prosecution had no opposition to these release conditions, so Judge Pipe granted the request.

Parties are slated to reconvene on March  10.
