WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — A D.C. man was sentenced Wednesday for a 2024 shooting that injured a 5-year-old and her father, according to the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for the District of Columbia.
Alante Partlow, 30, was sentenced to 13 years in prison and five years of supervised release.
The USAO states Partlow pled guilty in October 2024 to two counts of aggravated assault while armed and one count of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.

According to court records, on April 23, 2024, around 11:30 p.m., a 5-year-old and her father were walking out of an apartment building in the Fort Totten neighborhood after the man had previously argued with Partlow.
Court records say Partlow followed the two outside and fired at the man who tried to shield the child and was struck multiple times, with the child also sustaining injuries.
According to the USAO, the Metropolitan Police Department investigated the incident, and the case was part of the Make DC Safe and Beautiful Executive Order.
