shawn kemp NBA guilty plea shooting.

Former NBA star Shawn Kemp has pleaded guilty to an assault charge for shooting at two men inside a vehicle in a Washington state mall parking lot. The Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office says Kemp pleaded guilty to second-degree assault in Pierce County Superior Court on Tuesday as part of a plea agreement. He was arrested in March 2023 after the shooting outside the Tacoma Mall. Two vehicles were hit with bullets. No one was injured, and Kemp’s lawyers have said he returned fire in self defense after tracking and trying to retrieve a cellphone that had been stolen from him that day.
