The defendant in a non-fatal shooting case entered a plea of guilty before DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro.

Rashard Grant, 35, was originally charged with unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction, carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business and unlawful discarding of a firearm or ammunition for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that occurred on Jan. 10, 2025 on the 2000 block of Savannah Place, SE.

Grant pleaded guilty to one count of assault with a dangerous weapon. With this plea of guilty, he waives his right to a trial and to an appeal.
