Case Postponed for Mental Competency Eval

Another mental health observation for 42-year -old Tyrelle Fields, was scheduled before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Gale E. Rasin, at a Sept. 30 hearing.

The judge found 41-year-old Tyrelle Fields incompetent to stand trial on Oct. 15, 2025 in connection to a non-fatal shooting that occurred on the 700 block of N. Paca Street on May 5, 2021. 

Earlier Judge Rasin referenced an evaluator’s report, which detailed delusions, irrational content, and psychotic symptoms, before ruling beyond a reasonable doubt that Fields is incompetent to stand trial. 

Fields and his co-defendant Keisha Clark, 48, allegedly attempted to rob Fields’ cousin, who is also Clark’s ex-boyfriend. In the course of the robbery, Fields allegedly shot the victim. 

Fields is charged with attempted first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, use of a handgun in a crime of violence, and four other firearm violations. 

The case was postponed at the request of behavioral specialists to complete their new evaluation. In order to stand trial a defendant must understand the charges against him and be prepared to assist his attorney.

The case is set to continue Oct 7, 2026.
