On Feb 13, a defendant rejected a plea offer made by the prosecution before 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.
According to court documents, one individual sustained multiple gunshot injuries during the incident.
During the hearing, the prosecution put on the record that they had offered a plea deal to Coleman, which required him to plead guilty to one count of aggravated assault knowingly while armed, in exchange for a dismissal of all other charges.
Coleman declined the plea offer, and requested a trial date be set.
Parties are slated to return March 15 for a status hearing.
