On Oct. 20, a non-fatal shooting defendant pleaded not guilty to all charges in front of DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun.
Tejan Bah, 33, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed, aggravated assault knowingly while armed, assault with significant bodily injury, and two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, among other charges, for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that occurred on Nov. 27, 2021 on the 2200 block of 25th Place, NE. The incident left an individual suffering from a gunshot wound to his chest and a stab wound to his shoulder.
Gemma Stevens, Bah’s defense attorney, alerted the court Bah was pleading not guilty to all charges and asserted his constitutional rights, including the right to a speedy trial.
Parties are expected to return to court Nov. 28.
