A review is underway at the District’s Pre-Trial Services agency after a GPS monitoring device was incorrectly placed on a man’s prosthetic leg.
That man, 34-year-old Quincy Green, took off his leg and committed a murder.
Dana Hamilton was shot to death on Southern Avenue last month and police had no suspects for six days until someone dropped a dime on Green. He was fitted with the GPS device after he had been arrested for carrying a pistol without a license.
After receiving the tip on Green, police checked camera footage from the surrounding area and according to a nine-page affidavit, the gunman was spotted with an obvious limp.
