A DC Superior Court judge scheduled a hearing for a defendant to enter into a plea agreement.
Raymond Poston is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction. Poston, 53, was arrested on the 400 block of Florida Avenue, SE on May 29, according to court documents. A Georgetown University police officer heard gunshots being fired and located two victims who had been shot. One victim was shot in the left side of the hip. Another victim was shot in the right leg.
Judge Danya Dayson scheduled the felony status conference for Sept. 28. Poston remains held at the DC Jail.
Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers initially believed that Poston was a witness, court documents state. However, upon recovering a revolver matching the description that other witnesses provided, as well as an empty bullet casing, Poston emerged as a suspect.
