Zaire Wade Pleads Not Guilty in Felony Domestic Violence Case

Prosecutors say an unregistered handgun was seized from his home, signaling potential weapons issues as the case moves to a Sept. 24 preliminary hearing.

Overview

  • Police responding to a Burbank home on June 21 found a woman with lacerations who was evaluated at the scene, according to reports.
  • At his arraignment in Pasadena on July 16, Wade pleaded not guilty, posted a $50,000 bond, and agreed to a Sept. 24 preliminary hearing.
  • Prosecutors told the judge that officers seized an unregistered handgun from Wade’s home, an allegation first reported by TMZ that has not led to publicly filed separate weapons charges.
  • A judge issued an emergency protective order requiring Wade to stay at least 100 yards from the unidentified alleged victim and ordered him to surrender any firearms and sign a declaration about additional weapons.
  • Wade’s public profile as the eldest son of Dwyane Wade has heightened media attention and the coming pretrial steps will determine whether prosecutors add charges or the case proceeds to trial.
