A murder defendant rejected a plea offer before DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan on Aug. 8.
Korin Agnew, 36, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Korey Glasker on Sept. 11, 2024 on the 3700 block of Alabama Avenue, SE.
Prosecutors offered Agnew a deal that would require him to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence in exchange for prosecutors dropping the remaining charges and dismissing charges in two other cases.
According to court records, Agnew is charged with carrying a pistol without a license and possession with intent to distribute marijuana in a 2024 case and felony possession with intent to distribute marijuana and misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance in a 2025 case.
Agnew’s attorney, Marnitta King, informed the court that Angew rejected the plea deal and opted to proceed to trial.
Both parties agreed to not set a trial date until the prosecution brings an indictment against Agnew. They have until January 10, 2026 to do so.
Parties are set to reconvene Oct. 14.
