A non-fatal shooting defendant pleaded guilty before DC Superior Court Judge Carmen McLean during a hearing on June 23.
Issacc Rogers, 30, was originally charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting on April 19 on the 200 block of 57th Place, NE.
According to court documents, Rogers was in a physical altercation resulting with him and another defendant shooting into the victim’s mini-van
Rogers’ attorney, Wole Falodun, informed Judge McLean that Rogers pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or place of business. In exchange, the prosecution dismissed all greater and remaining charges.
Falodun requested Rogers’ release to home confinement to live with his mother in Baltimore until sentencing. Rogers’ parents were present in the courtroom, Falodun noted, and have attended his previous hearings. Falodun also acknowledged Rogers’ lack of prior firearms convictions.
Judge McLean emphasized that Rogers now has a firearms conviction with his guilty plea and denied Rogers’ release.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene for sentencing on Sept. 5.
