A suspect accused of inciting a shooting over a social media post pleaded not guilty in an Aug. 26 hearing before D.C. Superior Court Judge Robert Okun.

Dayquan Henderson, 22, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and assault with a dangerous weapon against a minor in connection with an incident that occurred May 11 in the 300 block of Anacostia Road, SE.

According to court documents, a group of people were arguing about a previous dispute on Instagram when Henderson, who is closely related to one of the group members, was informed of the conflict and allegedly began shooting from a balcony, although no one was injured.

Through his attorney Wole Falondun, Henderson pleaded not guilty to all charges and a status hearing was scheduled for September 19 before DC Superior Court Judge Lynn Lebovitz.
