A shooting defendant accepted a plea agreement before DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman on Oct. 7, days before the scheduled end of his trial.
Nigel Pulliam, 32, was initially charged with two counts of assault with the intent to kill while armed, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, assault with the intent to commit robbery while armed, four counts of firearm possession during a crime of violence, two counts of the unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction of over a year, two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon outside of a home or business, two counts of unregistered firearm possession, and two counts of unlawful ammunition possession for his involvement in a Sept. 23, 2022 robbery on the 1400 block of Maryland Avenue, NE, and a non-fatal shooting that wounded one individual on the 2000 block of Benning Road, NE, on Aug. 29, 2022.
After a week-and-a-half of trial, Pulliam pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. In exchange, the prosecution will dismiss all other charges. The defendant also agreed to register as a gun offender.
Both parties agreed to a sentencing range of six-to-ten years in prison.
Parties are set to return for sentencing on Feb. 6.
