A jury convicted a mass shooting defendant of eight charges before DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson on Sept. 26.
Ronell Offutt, 36, was charged with five counts of assault with the intent to kill while armed, and five counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his involvement in a mass shooting that wounded five people, including a five-year-old, at a Metro bus stop the 2300 block of Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, on Feb. 4, 2019.
Of the ten charges, the jury returned a guilty verdict for eight. Offutt was acquitted of one count of assault with the intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Dec. 12 for sentencing.
