DC Superior Court Judge Robert Salerno accepted a plea agreement encompassing two shootings on June 16.
Alexander Evans, 40, was originally charged with carrying a pistol without a license for his involvement in a domestic shooting on Dec. 9, 2024, on the 4400 block of Gault Place, NE. No injuries were reported.
Evans was also charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his involvement in a shooting that injured one individual on Jan. 13 on the 2000 block of Benning Road, NE.
According to court documents, during the Dec. 9 shooting, Evans shot into the air 12 times in an attempt to frighten his partner.
On Jan. 13, according to court documents, Evans shot an individual on the hand.
Evans’ attorney, Sellano Simmons, alerted Judge Salerno that his client was accepting a deal extended by the prosecution. Evans agreed to plead guilty to assault with significant bodily injury, endangerment with a firearm, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction. In exchange, the prosecution agreed not to indictment Evans on greater charges.
Parties are set to reconvene on Aug. 22.
