A shooting defendant accepted a global plea deal extended by the prosecution during a Jan. 24 hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman.
Juaval Huff, 29, was originally charged with two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed, three charges of assault with a dangerous weapon, six charges of possession of firearm during crime of violence, and carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business. The charges stemmed from involvement in a non-fatal shooting that injured three individuals, on March 26, 2024 on the 1300 block of Okie Street, NE.
During the hearing, the prosecution alerted Judge Edelman they had extended a global plea agreement to Huff, which would resolve all of his outstanding cases. Through the deal, Huff was required to plead guilty to assault with intent to kill while armed, carrying a pistol without a license, and robbery, in exchange for a dismissal of all other charges in four felony and two misdemeanor cases.
Through the deal, the prosecution agreed to request a sentence that is the mandatory minimum or at the bottom of the sentencing guidelines, whichever is longer.
Parties are slated to reconvene for sentencing on March 28.
