PORT ANGELES — A Seattle man has pleaded guilty to second-degree conspiracy to commit robbery and first-degree assault with a deadly weapon as part of a plea offer in a case in which a man was shot near Shane Park in 2009.
Andraees L. Henderson, 20, was set to go to trial, but changed his plea at a hearing Monday.
His accomplice, Edward K. Perez, pleaded guilty to a charge of second-degree conspiracy to commit robbery in January and also agreed to testify against Henderson.
Clallam County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John Troberg recommended a sentence of between nine years and 11 years.
Henderson was formerly charged with second-degree conspiracy to commit robbery, second-degree assault and second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.
The firearm charge was not included in the charges he pleaded guilty to, but the assault charge was increased to first-degree assault.
A formal sentencing will be held June 15 at 9 a.m. in Clallam County Superior Court.
According to court documents, Henderson shot Michael A. Rosche twice at the park at about 1 a.m. Oct. 1, 2009.
Rosche was treated and released from Olympic Medical Center.
Police say Henderson and Perez met Rosche at the park to get money that they believed Rosche owed them.
When he didn’t hand over the money, Henderson shot at him at least four times while he sat in a car, hitting him in a wrist and knee, according to authorities.
