On Sept. 20, a DC Superior Court judge continued a hearing to give the defense more time to consider a plea offer from the prosecution.

Demetrius Golden is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly shooting a victim on March 26 on the 3200 block of Georgia Avenue, NW. The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries.

Judge Michael O’Keefe granted defense attorney Sharon Weathers’ request for more time, scheduling another hearing for Oct. 1.

Golden, 38, is currently being held at DC Jail.
