A fatal shooting defendant was extended a plea offer before DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun in a July 26 hearing. 

Antwain Ulmer, 19, is charged with premeditated first-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 30-year-old Charles Sullivan on July 9, 2023, on the 700 block of Kenilworth Avenue, NE. 

The deal requires the defendant to plead guilty to premeditated murder while armed, assault with intent to kill while armed, possession of a firearm during the crime of violence, and carrying a pistol without a license outside of his home or business. He would spend 18 years in prison and one year of supervised release.

In exchange, the prosecution would dismiss all other charges.

Parties are set to reconvene on Jan. 10.
