A shooting defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Heide Herrmann on Feb. 21.

Daniel Griffin, 31, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for his alleged involvement in a shooting that occurred on May 27, 2024 on the 4300 block of Burroughs Ave, NE, injuring a single victim.

During the hearing, Griffin’s attorney, Mark Rollins, alerted the court of his intent to waive his right to a preliminary hearing, and informed the court that they are actively considering a plea offer proposed by the prosecution.

Parties are slated to reconvene March 7.
