Description: Washington, DC criminal lawyer represented Defendant charged with felony firearms possession.

On March 10, 2022, an officer with the Metropolitan Police Department observed as Azriel Echavarria, age 20, from Washington, DC, broadcast live footage of himself on Instragram Live as he waved a gun around inside an apartment in the 800 block of Kenilworth Avenue NE. MPD officers placed Echavarria under arrest after he left the apartment and executed a search warrant to recover the firearm, a 9-millimeter semi-automatic pistol. Police also recovered ammunition and drugs from the apartment, which was not Echavarria’s home or place of business. At the time of the offense, Echavarria was on probation for Maryland convictions of burglary and illegal gun possession. He has been held since his arrest.

Valdivia, who investigated and prosecuted the matter.
