A non-fatal shooting defendant waived her right to DNA testing before DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park on Oct. 15.
Diamond Early, 31, is charged with assault with significant bodily injury while armed, two counts of possession of firearm during crime of violence, assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a pistol without a license outside home/business, possession of unregistered firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition, for her alleged involvement in a shooting that occurred on July 31 on the 4000 block of Kansas Avenue, NW. One person suffered from a non-fatal gunshot wound to the right leg.
According to Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) documents, the suspect made disparaging remarks in the presence of the victim. The victim and the suspect got involved in an argument, when the suspect produced a firearm and allegedly shot the victim before fleeing.
Under the counsel of her defense attorney, Antoini Jones, Early waived her right to independently test the prosecution’s DNA evidence.
Parties will reconvene on Jan. 24.
