A Baltimore man who was set to begin trial on Nov. 29 had his trial pushed to April 2023 for reasons unknown to Baltimore Witness.

Defendant Najee Shamaur Sincere Gaylord, who is represented by Donald Wright, is charged with three counts of first-degree assault, five counts of second-degree assault, four counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree assault, five counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree assault, four counts of reckless endangerment, use of a firearm during a felony violent crime, conspiracy to commit the use of a firearm during a felony conviction, and discharging firearms in connection to an incident on Nov. 25, 2021. 

According to Fox Baltimore, on the day of the incident, the victim told U.S. Marshals Service investigators he was walking in downtown Baltimore when a group of people, including Gaylord, attempted to fight him.

The victim was able to escape and returned to his home in West Baltimore, but several hours later investigators say the family heard a knock at the door. They witnessed Gaylord fire an assault rifle into the house.

Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa Phinn scheduled for the defendant to start trial on April 24, 2023, before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Erik Atas.
