A Baltimore man accused of attempted murder was offered a plea deal on Dec. 1 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa Phinn.
Dominic White, 38, is charged with first-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault, use of a firearm during a violent crime, reckless endangerment, discharging firearms, possession of a firearm with a felony conviction, and having a handgun on his person in connection to an incident on April 29.
Judge Phinn listened as the prosecution presented a plea of life suspending all but 35 years with three years probation for first-degree attempted murder and five years without parole for use of a firearm during a violent crime. The charges are set to run concurrently.
White and his defense attorney, Roland Brown, rejected the plea offer. In addition, White decided to maintain his Hicks date, which is his right to be tried within 180 days of his first court appearance.
According to WMAR Baltimore, on April 29 at approximately 6:55 p.m officers responded to reports of gunshots. On arrival, officers found a 35-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound on the 4100 block of Eierman Avenue in Northwest Baltimore. The victim was taken to the hospital, where he received treatment for his injuries.
White’s trial is scheduled for May 2, 2022.
