On March 6, before DC Superior Judge Jason Park, a shooting defendant rejected a plea offer extended by the prosecution.

Shawnette Greene, 48, is charged with aggravated assault knowingly while armed, assault with intent to commit robbery while armed, robbery while armed, and three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, for her alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting incident. The incident occurred on Feb. 13, 2023, on the 200 block of Allison Street, NW. One individual sustained gunshot wounds during the incident.

According to court documents, officers from the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) located an individual in an alley suffering from three gunshot wounds to his upper left leg.

During the hearing, the prosecution alerted the court they had extended a plea deal, which required Greene to plead guilty to armed robbery, in exchange for a dismissal of all other charges.

Hannah Claudio, Greene’s defense attorney, alerted the court Greene decided to reject the plea offer, and requested a trial date.

Parties agreed to set a trial date for January 2025.

They are slated to return on June 21.
