A non-fatal shooting defendant rejected a plea offer before DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur on Aug. 26.
Keith Walker, 31, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a March 7 shooting on the 3100 block of Buena Vista Terrace, SE, where an individual was wounded in the ankle.
The prosecution offered a deal to plead guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon in exchange for all other charges being dropped. The sentencing range would have been 48-to-60 months.
Walker rejected the offer and parties set a trial date.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Dec. 1.
