A defendant allegedly involved in a near-fatal shooting pleaded not guilty before DC Superior Court Todd Edelman on Nov 21.
Ke’Shaun Farmer, 26, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, malicious disfigurement while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, endangerment with a firearm, threat to kidnap or injure a person, five counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or a business. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in a shooting incident that occurred on Feb. 18 on the 3700 block of Jamison Street, NE.
During the hearing, Farmer pleaded not guilty to all charges. Farmer’s defense attorney, Bernadette Armand, alerted Judge Edelman that the defendant was having difficulty accessing evidence discovered prior to his trial date, which is set for April 20, 2026.
Judge Edelman stated that he would reach out to the Department of Corrections (DOC) to allow Farmer to gain access to a computer to view discovery.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Dec. 18.
