DC Superior Court Judge Deborah Israel granted a shooting defendant more time to review a plea deal extended by the prosecution during a hearing on Sept. 8.
Martez Robinson, 29, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a shooting on the 3400 block of 15th Street, SE on Aug. 14.
According to court documents, Robinson reportedly fired two shots but no injuries were reported.
During the hearing, the prosecution extended a plea deal that would require Robinson to plead guilty to one count of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of carrying a pistol without a license. If Robinson accepts the offer, prosecutors would not pursue an indictment or charge Robinson with additional counts related to the incident.
Prosecutors noted the mandatory minimum sentence would be five years of incarceration.
Defense attorney Elliott Queen requested additional time to discuss the plea deal with the defendant.
Parties are set to reconvene Oct. 14.
