MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (DC News Now) — A judge said a man whom a jury convicted for a shooting at a restaurant in Chevy Chase in 2022 will spend 35 years in prison.

Jurors found David Lee Brown III, 29, of Washington, D.C. guilty on several charges in September 2023.

Police and prosecutors said Brown was involved in a fight with a woman at Clyde’s restaurant in Chevy Chase, Md. on Nov. 14, 2022. Several people jumped in, and a physical fight took place. It was during that time that Brown was accused of pistol-whipping someone and shooting a second person.

The shooting, itself, took place outside, but the fight moved into the restaurant where a number of employees ran for cover.

Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge John Maloney sentenced Brown to 55 years on Friday, suspending 20 of those years. After serving his sentence, Brown will have five years of supervised probation.
