A judge allowed a non-fatal shooting, carjacking and robbery case to go to trial in August.
Isaiah Stroup is charged with attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, armed robbery, attempted armed carjacking, first-degree assault, firearm use in a violent crime, conspiracy to armed robbery and conspiracy to carjacking and having a handgun in a vehicle for his alleged involvement in the shooting of one male victim and attempted robbery of a female victim on the 2400 block of Bridgehampton Drive on June 29, 2025.
Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa Copeland allowed the case to be set in August because the case involves evidence processing from Baltimore City and Baltimore County.
The case is still pending a comparison between shell casings found in the city with a gun police found in the county.
According to court documents, Stroup and two other unidentified individuals attempted to rob and carjack the victims.
Documents state the victims were sitting in a vehicle, identified as an Acura MDX when three individuals approached them, two holding guns and one driving a dark sedan. Stroup was said to be identified as the driver of the sedan.
The victims were ordered out of their car when the male victim handed his car keys and Apple iPhone, worth approximately $700, to one of the suspects. The female victim was instructed to hand over all property in her possession, but responded that she had none.
When one suspect tried to take the Acura, an altercation occurred and the male victim was shot in the face, according to court documents.
During Thursday’s hearing the prosecution offered the defendant a plea deal of 60 years in prison,suspending all but 30 years with 5 years of supervised probation, and a stay away order from the two victims for attempted first-degree murder. The plea deal also included a concurrent sentence of 20 years in prison with no parole for the first 5 years for firearm use in a violent crime.
Stroup rejected the plea offer through his attorney Jerry Rodriguez.
Trial was set on Aug. 11 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Althea Handy. It is expected to last for four days.
