Non-Fatal Shooting
|
A shooting defendant pleaded guilty to two charges before DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro on March 31.
Daniel Griffin, 31, was initially charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting on May 27, 2024 on the 4300 block of Burroughs Ave, NE. The incident left one victim injured.
Griffin’s attorney, Mark Rollins, shared with the court that Griffin would be entering a plea.
After reviewing the deal, Griffin pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm, with the possession of a firearm during a crime of violence charged dropped. In exchange, the prosecution agreed to not seek an indictment, and stated they’ll limit their sentencing requests to 60 months of incarceration.
Parties are slated to reconvene on June 12.
