On August 14, defendant Marcus Anderson accepted a plea offer extended by prosecutors.

Anderson, 28, pleaded guilty to one count of carrying a pistol without a license in a non-fatal shooting incident resulting from a domestic dispute that occurred on Feb. 23 on the 200 Block of 50th St SE.

According to the plea agreement by prosecutors, there will be no indictment on any other charges, and Anderson will have to register as a gun offender in DC.

DC Superior Court Judge Sean Staples confirmed that he was satisfied with Anderson’s understanding of the terms, and accepted his guilty plea.

Anderson’s next hearing will be on October 16.
