On June 2, Malik Seltzer rejected a plea offer in a homicide case and asked to set a trial date.
Seltzer, 27, is charged with first-degree murder while armed for allegedly shooting 37-year-old Paris Odemns on Sept 15, 2021, on the 4000 block of 1st Street, SE.
Prosecutors offered a deal that would have Seltzer plead guilty to one count of voluntary manslaughter while armed, which was rejected.
According to prosecutors, Seltzer’s indictment is forthcoming.
A trial date was set for January 2024.
Parties are expected back in court on Aug. 30.
