A plea offer in a homicide case was presented by the prosecution in a Nov. 15 hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe.
Joshua Allen, 33, is charged with first degree murder premeditated while armed, three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, assault with intent to kill, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, unlawful possession of a firearm by a convict, and carrying a pistol without license outside a home or business.
These charges stem from his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Delonte Johnson, on June 11, 2021 on the 4600 block of Hillside Road, SE.
Prosecution extended an offer to plead guilty to one count of second-degree murder while armed and one count of obstruction in another case– all other charges would be dropped.
The defendant and the defense have until January 24 to make a decision.
Parties are set to reconvene Jan 24, 2025.
