Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge John A. Howard postponed the trial of defendant Deshaen Carroll, 52, after notice that Carroll’s lawyer, Augustine Okeke, was scheduled for another proceeding at the same time. The prosecution had no objections and allowed Judge Howard to send the case to the reception court for rescheduling.
The defendant is charged with multiple counts, including attempted first‑ and second‑degree murder, assault, reckless endangerment and various weapons offenses.
According to court documents, Carroll is accused of shooting two men and firing into a crowd during an argument with one of the victims. Around 10 p.m. on July 13, 2025, Baltimore Police responded to several ShotSpotter alerts and located the first victim on the 2000 block of Kennedy Avenue with a gunshot wound to his right shin. A second victim was found on the 2000 block of Robb Street, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his left forearm, shoulder and groin.
Investigators identified the suspect’s vehicle as a silver 2006 Mercedes R500 and obtained video footage that allegedly shows Carroll arguing with the second victim before drawing a handgun and shooting him five times.
Additional video evidence reportedly suggests that Carroll subsequently fired the weapon toward a group of people who were fleeing the scene. He then continued shooting in the direction of the first victim, according to police. Officers identified Carroll as a possible suspect after spotting him leaving a residence on Robb Street roughly 11 minutes before the shooting. Baltimore CitiWatch cameras allegrdly captured him fleeing the scene in the Mercedes.The trial is now set to resume at 9 a.m. the following day, Feb. 26, before Judge LaZette C. Ringgold-Kirksey.
