    An Athens man was charged with attempted murder after he shot a man in March of 2022, but he pleaded down to aggravated assault in Monroe County Criminal Court.

    Devante Xavier Oneil Moore, 27, had been facing the attempted murder charge and several others for two years before he handed in his plea April 21. He pleaded to two charges of aggravated assault, carjacking and evading arrest, receiving a combined 20 years at 30 percent, with all to be served concurrently. He will receive credit for five months already served.
