On Nov. 6, DC Superior Court Judge Maribeth Raffinan allowed a shooting defendant to remain on release following a technical compliance issue. 

Delvin Pollard, 29, is being charged with two counts of assault with intent to kill, among other charges, for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting directed at two police officers inside a vehicle. The incident occurred at the 300 block of Hawaii Avenue, NE on Dec. 6, 2019. 

According to court documents, there were no injuries reported, but there were bullet fragments recovered from the vehicle. 

Pollard has been on release since Oct. 21, 2022. He is under high intensity supervision, which includes a condition that requires him to stay away from the location of the shooting. His curfew was lifted in May, though the other conditions remained in effect. 

According to Judge Raffinan, she received notice Pollard was in compliance with his release conditions with the exception of an incident in which, according to the defense, Pollard was traveling in an Uber to work and the driver passed through the location listed on his stay-away order. 

Judge Raffinan stated that she did not believe this issue required any action. Prosecution did not object. 

The next status hearing is set for Jan. 9. The trial is slated to begin May 13, 2024.
