A shooting defendant accepted a plea offer extended by the prosecution in a hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur on Aug. 20.
Kevin Snead, 41, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that occurred at the intersection of 15th Street and Independence Avenue, SE, on April 3. No injuries were reported.
During the hearing, Samuel Bogash, Snead’s attorney, stated that his client intended to accept a pre-indictment plea offer extended by the prosecution. It would require Snead to plead guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon in exchange for not seeking an indictment on greater charges.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene for sentencing on Oct. 18.
