A leading detective of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said on surveillance video evidence from a mass shooting in a preliminary hearing before the judge of the Supreme Court of DC on February 28.

The 25-year-old Andre Greene is charged with the first degree murder, while because of his alleged participation in the fatal shootout of the 29-year-old Lamont Street and 50-year-old Jermaine Proctor, who took place on July 18, 2024, he took place at the 2200 block of Alabama Avenue SE. Two other people suffered injuries during the incident.

The public prosecutor described a detective who previously stated that Greene was identified as a suspect by social media images and surveillance material to notify the Greene and other people who might have been involved in the incident.

In the hearing, the detective checked additional images and video material, which should be entered as evidence with testimony from interviews he led.

The detective testified that the officials would have restored four firearms during a Greenes House search command, one of which was modified together with ammunition, extended magazines and several cell phones that were hidden in a department of a couch.

The detective also explained that a key to a Dodge Charger was found in Greene's bedroom, which later matches an Instagram story that shows him in possession of the same key. Court documents claim that a Blue Dodge Charger was used by the suspects to transport them from their neighborhood to the suspicious vehicle before and after the shootout.

The investigators also discovered photos of Greenes, who allegedly posed with firearms, including a assault rifle and the extended magazines, even though previous convicts prevented him from having weapons.

During her cross-interpretation, the defender Shawn Sukumar questioned whether MPD surveillance material definitely confirmed a connection between the Blue Dodge charger and the suspicious vehicle or showed people with firearms.

The detective admitted that during the video by a white vehicle, while video entered a blue Dodge charger, the identifying plate was not visible and the charger did not subside the other car until the shooting site.

Sukumar also asked whether MPD uncovered communication via Instagram direct messages or text messages between Greene and the alleged shooters on the day of the incident. The detective admitted that there was no such evidence from now on, but the investigation remains.

The detective previously stated that Greene was one of four suspects when he passed the film material from the crime scene, and the evidence from an Instagram search command that was carried out on Greenes account.

In the current hearing, the detective checked the interviews with Witnesses of Hertz Car Rental, where Green worked, and confirmed that a witness Greene described Greene as “not correct”, but provided no further details on his behavior. The detective suggested that the witness may have known more information, but did not want to get involved in the investigation.

The detective also confirmed that another Hertz employee said Greene had browned with the shootout, but her account was needed and forwarded from another employee who had simply told them that they should look at the news.

When forwarding, the public prosecutor confirmed that the person who was identified as a person of interest in the shootout had communicated with another person who was in a photo with Greene.

For time restrictions, the parties could not speak out for a probable cause.

The parties should arise again on March 5.
