Heading: Aggravated Assault While Armed (AAWA)

Text: Appellants Chávez and Morales were convicted of AAWA of Mara R member Jose Diaz in connection with the shooting of Diaz on August 16, 2001. The evidence showed that Diaz stood in place for a while after he was shot, did not undergo surgery in connection with his injury, and was able to travel to El Salvador five days after the shooting. Appellants argue, and the government agrees, that the evidence was insufficient to prove the serious bodily injury that is required for conviction of AAWA. [13] The parties agree, however, that the evidence does support convictions for ADW as to Diaz, and they request that we reverse the AAWA convictions as to Diaz and remand for entry of judgment of guilt as to ADW for both Chávez and Morales. We agree with that result. See In re P.F., 954 A.2d 949, 953 (D.C.2008).
