A stabbing defendant cried while accepting a plea deal for assault with significant bodily injury while armed before DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe on April 3.
Isatou Kah, 21, was originally charged with aggravated assault knowingly while armed for her involvement in a stabbing incident on Nov. 20, 2024 on the 3000 block of Langley Court, NW. One individual sustained two puncture wounds and a collapsed lung.
Allegedly, Kah went on two dates with a man she met on a dating app and began to stalk him. On the night of the incident, Kah went to his apartment complex, waited outside his door, and refused to leave. His neighbors, including the victim, allegedly told Kah to leave multiple times. As the victim turned to enter back into her apartment, Kah allegedly stabbed her in the back with an ice pick.
Through the deal, Kah agreed to plead guilty to assault with significant bodily injury while armed in exchange for the prosecution to not further pursue any other charges, such as stalking.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene June 13 for sentencing.
