DC Superior Court Judge Marisa Demeo declared a mistrial in a defendant’s non-fatal shooting case on Aug. 20 for reasons that were not disclosed.
Andrew Parsons, 29, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and a felony charge of carrying a dangerous weapon. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting incident that occurred on June 26, 2023, on the 800 block of Southern Avenue, SE.
According to court documents, Parsons was involved in an argument with a person he knew and shot him several times in the legs. The victim’s injuries required surgery.
Following the mistrial, a new prosecutor took over the case.
A new jury trial is set for Nov. 4.
