DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson heard testimony from a detective regarding the victim’s recollection of a shooting incident during a March 21 hearing.

Tyshay Moore, 27, and Javonee Jackson, 25, are charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, four counts of possession of a firearm during crime of violence, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, conspiracy, and simple assault for her alleged involvement in a shooting that injured one individual. The incident occurred on May 10, 2023, on the 700 Block of 7th Street, NW.

A Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) detective testified that he was the individual who went to interview the victim two days after the incident.

During the interview, the witness testified that the victim knew his assailants prior to the incident and had a child with Jackson. The victim also allegedly stated that his child’s mother’s ex-girlfriend, Moore, was also one of the people who assaulted him, but could not confirm who shot him.

According to the detective, the victim had video proof of the altercation, stating that the video shows Jackson, Moore, and another unidentified person assaulting him.

The defense began their cross examination but was stopped short due to time. Judge Dayson scheduled the motion hearing to continue on April 10 in order for the defense to finish their cross examination.

Trial is slated to begin on April 15.
