A non-fatal shooting defendant accepted a plea deal extended by prosecutors before DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe on April 2.
Antuan Myles, 19, was originally charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside of a home or business, unlawful discarding of a firearm or ammunition, unlawful discharge of a firearm, endangerment with a firearm in a public place, possession of an unregistered firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition.
The charges stem from his involvement in a non-fatal shooting that occurred on Dec. 19, 2024, on the 5200 block of Blaine Street, NE. Nobody was injured.
According to court documents, Myles discarded the firearm after the shooting took place.
Myles pleaded guilty to carrying a pistol without a license, unlawful discharging of a firearm, and unlawful discarding of a firearm or ammunition. In exchange, the prosecution will dismiss the remaining charges and waive any enhancement papers.
Parties are slated to reconvene for sentencing July 11.
