A non-fatal shooting defendant entered a plea of not guilty on all counts before DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Pasichow on Feb. 24. 

Antuan Myles, 19, is 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 alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that occurred on Dec. 19, 2024, on the 5200 block of Blaine Street, NE. 

According to court documents, Myles allegedly discarded the firearm after the shooting took place.

Emma Mlyniec, Myles’ defense attorney, alerted Judge Pasichow of Myles’ intent to plead not guilty to all charges and asserted his constitutional rights, including the right to a speedy trial. 

Parties are slated to reconvene on April 2.
