Two co-defendants charged with a shooting during which they sustained injuries requested more time to consider a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt on Nov. 25.
Reco Jackson, 27, and Raquan Felder, 33, are charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, and three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. Additionally, Jackson is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction greater than a year and Felder is charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business.
The charges stem from their alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on Jan. 25 on the 4400 block of 19th Place, NE. Jackson sustained a gunshot wound to his left arm and Felder sustained a gunshot wound to his left foot.
At the hearing, Judge Brandt informed parties that due to a court scheduling error, she was not aware the case was on her calendar until the previous day. Therefore, parties delayed arguments regarding the defendants’ conditions of release to allow Judge Brandt time to familiarize herself with the arguments.
A Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) representative, participating remotely, said Jackson and Felder remained fully compliant with their release conditions.
The prosecutor informed Judge Brandt they extended a wired plea. The plea deal would require both defendants to plead guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon, Jackson to unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction, and Felder to carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business.
Additionally, the plea deal required both defendants acceptance and the prosecution would dismiss the remaining charges.
Jackson and Felder requested additional time to consider the plea deal and parties are scheduled to reconvene on Jan. 23, 2026.
