A Baltimore man accused of shooting his niece during a family gathering earlier this year in northeast Baltimore appeared before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Michael A. DiPietro on Oct. 28 for trial.
Anthony Meredith Jr., 46, faces multiple charges of first-degree assault and firearm use in a felony violent crime, along with one count of reckless endangerment and several additional firearm-related offenses.
According to charging documents, officers responded on Jan. 12 to reports of gunfire on the 5400 block of Clover Road, where they found a woman suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg after an argument broke out. She was transported to Sinai Hospital for treatment. Investigators recovered two .40-caliber shell casings nearby and documented the scene.
The trial is set to continue Oct. 29 with opening statements and testimony.
