DC Superior Court Judge Di Toro modified a shooting defendant’s release conditions on Sept. 9, citing his compliance.
D’Montre Gay, 28, is charged with unlawful discharge of a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm by a convict, endangerment with a firearm, possession of an unregistered firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, carrying a pistol without a license, and destruction of property less than 1,000 dollars. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in a shooting that occurred on Dec. 16, 2023 on the 700 block of Maine Avenue, SW.
According to court documents, while Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers patrolled the area, they believed to have heard the sound of gunshots. After further investigation, they apprehended two suspects including Gay, who was standing near the sound of where the gunshots originated. A gun was allegedly recovered from Gay at the time of his arrest.
Marnitta King, Gay’s attorney, requested his release conditions be modified, requesting his GPS monitor be removed.
Judge Di Toro granted the request.
Parties are slated to reconvene March 14, 2025.
