DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro accepted a shooting defendant’s guilty plea on June 27.
Cameron McMillian, 35, was originally charged with aggravated assault while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction. The charges stemmed from his involvement in a shooting that injured one individual on the 1100 block of 4th Street, SW, on Jan. 22.
According to court documents, McMillian was arguing with the victim and an associate. When the victim turned away, McMillian hit them with a handgun, which discharged, striking the victim in the right shoulder.
McMillian pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction in exchange for all other charges being dismissed.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Aug. 28.
