DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun presided over a Sept. 28 status hearing during which a homicide defendant rejected a plea deal. 

Robert Green, 30, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 43-year-old Andre Junior on the 1500 block of Park Road, NW, on March 15, 2018.

According to court documents, officers found Junior falling out of a White SUV suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Despite life saving attempts, the victim succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead only a few hours later. 

The prosecution’s plea deal would have allowed the defendant to plead guilty to second-degree murder while armed. 

A trial date is set for February 2024. 

Parties are expected to return Nov. 1 for a motion hearing.
