On Dec. 1, a non-fatal shooting defendant pleaded not guilty during his arraignment in front of DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun.
Anthony Coleman, 32, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a prior convict, for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting incident that occurred on Dec. 7, 2022, on the 100 block of Galveston Place, SW. The incident left an individual suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.
During the hearing, Coleman’s defense attorney, Alvin Thomas Jr., alerted the court his client pleads not guilty to all counts and asserted his constitutional rights, including the right to a speedy trial.
Parties are expected to reconvene Jan. 9, 2024.
