During a preliminary hearing on April 3, DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt granted a continuance in the case after negotiations stalled.
Dionte Anderson, 24, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting Adrian Mack, 31, on Aug. 7, 2022, on the 300 block of 50th Street, NE.
According to court documents, Mack was involved in an altercation with unknown individuals when he rejoined Anderson and the rest of the group. This is where Anderson, according to a police report, shot Mack as he was chasing the unknown individuals who were attacking him.
During the hearing, counsel stated they could not agree on a plea deal, and were ready to move forward with the preliminary hearing.
The parties are scheduled to return April 10 for a preliminary hearing.
