A Baltimore man accused of attempting to murder a man after a minor traffic accident last fall took the stand at his own trial on May 21, testifying that his confession to police was false.
Kevin Glenn Jr., 48, reportedly told detectives upon arrest that he fired a 9mm gun at a work van the night of Sept. 24, 2025, after the van struck his black Honda Accord on Park Heights Avenue. Glenn allegedly reenacted the shooting to detectives, physically demonstrating how he pointed and fired the weapon at the van.
On the stand, however, the defendant claimed he lied to the officers, telling the state’s attorney, “They know the reason why I lied.”
Glenn, who is represented by defense attorney Augustine Okeke, is charged with attempted murder, assault, firearm use, reckless endangerment and multiple gun offenses for the shooting. The van he reportedly shot at was occupied at the time by a home remodeler in the driver’s seat and his employee in the passenger seat.
On May 21, the driver testified that he was on his way home from work when Glenn’s black Honda Accord attempted and failed to complete a right turn, striking his van’s rear. He pulled over onto the right side of the road, and the black Honda followed suit. Both drivers exited.
Glenn was reportedly on the phone,“talking to a young missus” while carrying a fanny pack that appeared to contain a gun. When he started putting his hand into the bag, the driver re-entered his van and began fleeing.
Glenn began pursuing him immediately, the driver said. He recalled hearing six shots total, three of which struck his rear bumper, and one which shattered his emergency light. One of the bullets pierced his window and struck his employee, injuring him.
“I was afraid to stop mid-way,” the driver testified, admitting he ran a red light in an attempt to out run Glenn. After arriving at his home, he laid his employee on the grass and attempted to clean the blood off his body and clothes. A neighbor called 911 for him. Police responded, and the driver showed them the location of the crash.
Two days later, the driver said unknown men on motorcycles began parking behind his house and monitoring it, leading him to move his family to a different address.
Glenn denied all claims from the driver and the state’s attorney, and gave a reversed account of the events. He testified that he was the one who was struck in traffic, and that he heard shots going off as he fled the scene.
“I just kept on riding,” Glenn said on the stand. “I never shot a gun.”
The state’s attorney pushed back, emphasizing Glenn’s confession to police and the physical demonstration he provided for them. Glenn even told officers he threw the gun “in the water” afterwards, the state’s attorney noted.
Investigators later recovered the black Honda Accord in Druid Hill. Glenn claimed the last person to drive the vehicle was the mother of his children, leading the state’s attorney to ask him if he was shifting blame. Glenn argued he lied to protect her from being taken away from their children.
Jurors are currently deliberating.
