According to the Baltimore Police Department, Marcellus Lavay Walls was arrested in connection to a non-fatal shooting around 6:40 p.m. on Oct. 23 on the 2300 block of Argonne Avenue. The victim, who Walls allegedly shot in the chest, was taken to a hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries.

On Friday, police said Walls is charged with attempted first and second-degree murder, first and second-degree assault, firearm use in a felony violent crime, reckless endangerment, having a handgun on his person, having a loaded handgun on his person, and discharging a firearm in Baltimore City.
