Jury selection began in the attempted murder trial of 44-year-old Marrico Bell before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry G. Williams on Jan. 8.

Bell is charged with attempted first- and second-degree murder, first-degree assault, firearm use in a felony violent crime, firearm possession with a felony conviction, illegal possession of ammunition, and firing a gun within Baltimore City.

According to a Baltimore Police Department press release, Bell allegedly shot and injured a 32-year-old victim in the 1500 block of Carswell Street on Feb. 3, 2024.

Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa K. Copeland postponed the case on Oct. 29 last year due to scheduling conflicts involving the prosecution’s witnesses.
