DC Superior Court Judge Milton Lee continued a hearing Sept. 6 for a homicide case so that defense attorney Albert Amissah could discuss a plea offer with his client.

David Beale is charged with first-degree murder while armed, four counts of possession of firearm during a crime of violence, two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and unlawful possession of a firearm for allegedly shooting 43-year-old George Johnson, Jr. on the 800 block of Oglethorpe Street, NE on May 7, 2018.

Parties are set to reconvene on Sept. 28.
