On Dec 4. a non-fatal shooting defendant’s sentencing was delayed 30 days in front of DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur.

Chantel Seltzer, 44, is being charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm for her alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that took place on the 300 Block of 62nd St, NE, on March 22nd, 2023. No injuries were reported during the incident. 

On Oct. 13, Seltzer accepted a pre-indictment offer extended by prosecutors, which required her to plead guilty to the two counts and is awaiting sentencing.

The court is reviewing the sentencing guidelines and could increase the severity of her punishment based on Seltzer’s prior convictions.

Sentencing is delayed until Jan. 4.
