One week. That’s how long it took Terry Allen Jimenez, arrested and charged with second-degree murder for allegedly shooting and killing an innocent man last Saturday, to get back into trouble in D.C. after he left town for safety reasons.

According to the Washington Post and police and court documents, Jimenez left D.C. for Buffalo earlier this year after he was the target of a drive-by shooting that killed 18-year-old Cardozo High School student Lucki Pannell in February. He returned last Monday — but it didn’t take long for him to fall back into what MPD Chief Cathy Lanier dubbed as the “reckless violence” of gang life: Jimenez, reportedly a member of the Hobart Stars gang, fired a pistol from behing a vehicle at people he believed were members of the rival Clifton Terrace University gang. Gunfire was returned, striking four people in total — Jimenez himself, two other people who are expected to survive, and Robert Foster, Jr., who later died.

The Post reports that the District — who had been keeping tabs on Jimenez, was tipped off that he had returned to the city, but was unable to locate him until the incident over the weekend.

Jimenez’s preliminary hearing on the murder charge has been scheduled for July 18.
