​Zaire Wade has been charged with a felony following a June arrest on suspicion of domestic violence, according to a criminal complaint obtained by PEOPLE. The incident, which involved a romantic partner, occurred in Burbank, California, where police found the alleged victim with injuries. Wade was bonded out on the same day as his arrest and is scheduled to appear for arraignment on July 16 in a Pasadena court.
According to the complaint filed by Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman, Wade, who is 24, faces a felony count of injuring a cohabitant, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend, or child’s parent. The DA alleges that Wade “willfully inflicted corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition” upon the victim, whose identity has not been disclosed. The document indicates the two were in a romantic relationship at the time of the alleged incident. Wade’s arraignment is set for 8:30 a.m. on July 16 in Pasadena.
PEOPLE has requested comment from a Wade family spokesperson and from Wade’s representatives regarding the felony charge. Previously, on June 21, Wade was arrested and booked in Los Angeles with a bond set at $50,000. He posted bail the same day, and an emergency protective order for the victim was obtained.
According to a Burbank Police spokesperson, Wade was arrested for domestic violence, criminal threats, and false imprisonment. The incident reportedly occurred around 5:30 a.m. in Burbank after authorities were alerted to a woman screaming. NBC Los Angeles, citing police sources, reported that responders found the woman with lacerations on her face and body, though she did not require hospitalization.
Wade, whose father Dwyane Wade owns a minority stake in the Utah Jazz, most recently played for the Cape Town Tigers of the Basketball Africa League. Dwyane Wade, 44, shares his daughter Kaavia, 7, with wife Gabrielle Union. He also has Zaya, 19, and Zaire with ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches, and a son, Xavier, 11, with Aja Metoyer. The NBA Hall of Famer is also the legal guardian of his nephew, Dahveon Morris, 22.
