The prosecution dismissed a case against a shooting defendant in a motion hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Robert Salerno on Feb. 9.
Quentin Hill, 36, was charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business, possession of an unregistered firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition for his alleged involvement in a shooting on the 2200 block of Savannah Terrace, SE on April 18, 2023. No injuries were reported.
During the hearing, the prosecution motioned to dismiss the case against Hill. Hill’s attorney, Kavya Naini, asked for a dismissal with prejudice, which would prohibit the prosecution from re-opening the case.
However, the prosecution’s motion to dismiss the case without prejudice was granted by Judge Salerno and all charges against Hill were dropped for now.
Hill’s jury trial, originally set for Feb. 17, was canceled and no further hearings were scheduled.
