A non-fatal shooting defendant, also accused of second-degree cruelty to children, waived her right to a preliminary hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Heide Herrmann on Oct. 16.
Jamira Guillory, 24, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, second-degree cruelty to children, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition. The charges are in connection to her alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting at the intersection of 18th and Bryant Street, NE.
The incident occurred on Aug. 24. One individual sustained injuries and a five-year-old was put at “grave risk of bodily injury,” according to court documents.
Guillory’s attorney, Lisbeth Sapirstein, informed the court that Guillory would be waiving her preliminary hearing.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Dec. 18.
