A shooting defendant accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Pasichow on Oct. 2.
Taiyon Suggs, 50, was originally charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his involvement in a shooting incident on March 25 on the 3700 block of 10th Street, NW. One person sustained a gunshot wound.
During the hearing, Suggs’ defense attorney, Jeremy Feldman, announced that his client would accept the plea offer, which required him to plead guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, in exchange for the prosecution not seeking an indictment.
Through the deal, the prosecution agreed to limit their sentencing request to five years of incarceration.
Parties are slated to return on Dec. 10 for sentencing.
