A jury trial for a Baltimore teenager charged in a 2025 non-fatal shooting was postponed July 23 in Baltimore City Circuit Court after prosecutors informed the court that a detective would be unavailable to testify during the scheduled trial dates.
Suspect Delvon Bryant, 19, appeared before Judge Lawrence Daniels alongside defense attorney Charles Paul.
Bryant is charged with attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, use of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence and handgun-related offenses in connection with the shooting of an 18-year-old man on the 3000 block of Ridgewood Avenue.
According to court records, Northwest District Action Team officers apprehended Bryant after a brief foot pursuit from the shooting scene.
During the hearing, prosecutors extended a plea offer of 25 years, suspending all but 10 years, for first-degree attempted murder with no possibility of parole during the mandatory five-year minimum sentence. Bryant rejected the offer.
The parties anticipated selecting a 90-person jury panel. The defense indicated it expects to call two witnesses, while the state plans to call four. However, the trial was postponed after prosecutors advised the court that a detective would be unavailable for the original date. The case has been reset for a three-day jury trial before Judge Michael Anthony DiPietro beginning Aug. 24.
