On June 23, D.C. Superior Court Judge Marisa Demeo sentenced a non-fatal shooting defendant to 60- months imprisonment with three-years supervised release.
On April 25, Delonte Holloman, 35, pled guilty to assault with intent to kill and possession of a firearm during crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on the 3400 block of Croffut Place, SE, on January 5 during which a man was shot in the abdomen.
During the sentencing, prosecutors argued that the defendant’s history of criminal convictions, persistent substance abuse and mental health issues should be taken into consideration. They highlighted his many encounters with police and said he remains a danger to the community.
Peter Odom, Holloman’s defense attorney, requested a lesser sentence due to Holloman’s obligations to care for his five children, and family. Odom also worried about Holloman’s eligibility for child support programs.
Judge Demeo weighed both parties’ concerns and levied 60 months incarceration for assault with intent to kill and 15 months added for possession of a firearm during a crime of violence that will be served concurrently.
In addition, the defendant will be required to serve three- years of supervised release as well as register as a gun offender and take part in mental health programs, substance abuse assessments and anger management treatment.
