Richard Nduba, 39, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after being found guilty following a three-day trial in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia for firing multiple shots a a man during an argument that rapidly escalated in August 2022 in Northwest DC.
Prosecutors say that on Aug. 10, 2022, Nduba got into an argument with the victim, who was described as a friend, outside the Walmart on H Street NW.
After the argument, the victim, who is wheelchair bound, went to the 800 block of 1st street NW next to the Walmart’s loading dock area to make a phone call, while Nduba circled the block in a rented SUV until he found his victim.
Nduba proceeded to lower his window and shot at his victim twice, only stopping because the man played dead in his wheelchair as the gunman drove away, prosecutors said.
Neither shot actually hit its mark; however, a bullet hole was discovered in the loading dock door next to where the victim had been sitting at the time of the shooting.
Nduba was found guilty of assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence following his trial. In addition to his prison term, he was also ordered to serve 36 months of supervised release when he is freed.
