On June 22, D.C. Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur arraigned defendant Kevin Bailey on nine counts related to a non-fatal shooting. Bailey pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Bailey, 23 is charged with conspiracy while armed, three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, and robbery while armed for an incident that occurred on April 14, 2020 near the 1800 block of Central Place, NE.

According to court documents, Bailey is accused trying to steal a cell phone, and when the victim refused, Bailey allegedly shot him. During the arraignment, the prosecutor requested a protective order for the victim since Bailey is on release pending trial.

Parties are set for a status hearing on July 28.
