A shooting defendant accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Deborah Israel on April 10.
Kyre Robinson, 23, was originally charged with aggravated assault knowingly while armed for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting on the 1500 block of Benning Road, NE on June 9, 2025.
According to the prosecution, officers responded to the scene for reports of a shooting. Robinson was captured on surveillance footage pointing and firing a gun at an apartment building, where a victim was struck in the back. The prosecution also noted Robinson had a prior conviction for carrying a pistol without a license.
Robinson’s attorney, Julie Wilson, informed Judge Israel that her client accepted a plea deal from prosecutors. Wilson stated that Robinson would plead guilty to attempted aggravated assault and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction. As part of the deal, parties agreed to a total sentence between two-to-three years imprisonment, subject to Judge Israel’s approval at sentencing.
Robinson also pleaded guilty on Aug. 22, 2025 to aggravated assault while armed, carrying a pistol without a license, and destruction of property for his involvement in another shooting on the 1500 block of Benning Road, NE on Dec. 16, 2024.
Parties are slated to reconvene on July 10, when Robinson will be sentenced for both matters.
