DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur reinstated a shooting defendant’s original sentence during a hearing on Oct.1.
On March 4, 2019, Tyiion Freeman, 22, was convicted of assault with significant bodily injury for his involvement in a shooting on the 600 block of Park Road, NW on Dec. 20, 2017.
He was sentenced to 18 months, with all of it suspended under a Youth Rehabilitation Act (YRA). As part of the sentencing, he was required to successfully complete 24 months of probation in order to have the conviction sealed under the YRA.
However, he failed to comply with the conditions of probation. He was charged in connection to a conspiracy and murder case for the death of 13-year-old Malachi Lukes on March 1, 2020.
He was recently convicted and sentenced to 108 years of incarceration for the murder.
During the re-sentencing in the non-fatal shooting case, Judge Arthur revoked his probation due to violations and imposed his original sentence of 18 months to run consecutively to other sentences. He is also required to serve three years on supervised release.
No further dates were set.
