On Feb. 28, a non-fatal shooting defendant accepted a global plea agreement in front of DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park.
Travone Henderson, 20, was originally charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business, destruction of property, possession of an unregistered firearm, and unlawful discharge of a firearm for his involvement in a shooting that occurred on May 3, 2022 on the 300 block of Anacostia Road SE. No injuries were reported.
Henderson was also charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting on the 3100 block of 14th Street, NW, on Nov. 13, 2023. Two individuals sustained gunshot injuries to their legs, and were taken to Howard University Hospital for treatment.
Henderson waived his rights to trial, and accepted a plea agreement, which required him to plead guilty to one count of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, in exchange for a dismissal of all other charges, including the 2022 case.
Parties are expected to return for sentencing on May 17.
