A shooting defendant accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Anthony Epstein on Nov. 8.
Keith Robinson, 57, was originally charged with assault with intent to kill while armed for his involvement in a domestic non-fatal shooting on May 23 on the 3400 block of B Street, SE. One individual sustained injuries, who was later identified as the defendant’s girlfriend.
The victim was wounded with four shots to the chest and four wounds on the arm, according to court documents.
Brandon Burrell, Robinson’s attorney, read the plea agreement which indicated that Robinson would plead guilty to aggravated assault knowingly while armed and any other charges would be dismissed.
The maximum sentence for this charge would be 30 years.
Burrell also requested the Court to release Robinson while pending sentencing. The prosecution argued for the request to be denied given the serious nature of the case.
Judge Epstein denied the request.
Parties will reconvene on Jan. 13, 2025.
