Zaire Wade Charged with Felony Domestic Violence

Zaire Wade, the 24-year-old son of Basketball Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade, was formally charged with a felony on Thursday, July 9, 2026, in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident last month in Burbank, California. The charge follows his arrest on June 21 after police responded to an early morning disturbance call.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed a criminal complaint charging Wade with one felony count of injuring a spouse, cohabitant, or dating partner. The alleged victim, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, was reportedly in a dating relationship with Wade. Police were dispatched to a residence at approximately 5:30 a.m. on June 21 after neighbors called 911, reporting hearing a woman screaming. Upon arrival, officers located a woman with several lacerations to her face and body. Paramedics evaluated her at the scene, but she did not require transport to a hospital.

At the time of the arrest, Burbank police had taken Wade into custody on suspicion of felony domestic violence, criminal threats, and false imprisonment. Authorities also recovered a handgun from the residence, though they did not indicate it was used during the incident....
