An armed assault defendant rejected a plea offer in front of DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe on Oct. 15.
Brian Diggs, 31, is charged with aggravated assault knowingly while armed and firearm possession during a crime of violence. The charges stem from Diggs’ alleged involvement in a shooting at the 700 block of 20th Street, NE on Aug. 6. One individual was injured.
A prosecutor offered Diggs a plea deal that would include accepting one count of aggravated assault and one count of felony possession. In return, charges from a prior 2016 case against Briggs would be dismissed.
Diggs rejected the plea offer, and parties moved to discuss available trial dates.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Nov. 20.
