On Sept. 28, a shooting defendant, Kevin Bailey, rejected a plea offer extended by prosecutors.
Bailey, 23, is being charged with conspiracy while armed, robbery while armed, assault with a dangerous weapon, and additional counts for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting on April 14, 2020. The incident occurred after an alleged drug deal turned robbery at the intersection of Gallaudet Street and Central Place, NE.
The offer required Bailey to plead guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a pistol without a license in exchange fo dismissal of all other charges. Even though Bailey rejected it, the prosecutors said they would continue to negotiate with Bailey and his defense attorney.
The trial for this matter is set to begin March 3, 2024.
