A suspect accused of a shooting over a social media post pleaded not guilty before DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun in a hearing on Aug. 26.
Dayquan Henderson, 22, was arraigned on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and assault with a dangerous weapon against a minor in relation to an incident that occurred on the 300 block of Anacostia Road, SE on May 11.
According to court documents, a group of individuals was arguing about a previous dispute over Instagram when Henderson, who is closely related to one of the group, was advised of the conflict and allegedly started shooting from a balcony, though no one was injured.
Through his attorney, Wole Falondun, Henderson pleaded not guilty to all the charges and a status hearing was set for Sept. 19 before DC Superior Court Judge Lynn Lebovitz.
