On July 20, a defense attorney asked a DC Superior Court judge to schedule another status hearing so she can receive a plea offer from the prosecution and discuss it with her client.

Demetrius Golden is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly shooting a victim on March 26 on the 3200 block of Georgia Avenue, NW.

DC Superior Court Judge Ronna Beck granted the defense’s request and scheduled another hearing for Aug. 25.

Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers identified Golden as the suspect from video surveillance that captured the license plate of a car the suspect was driving, according to court documents.
