An 18-year-old defendant accused in a 2023 attempted murder case rejected a plea offer in Baltimore City Circuit Court on May 25.
Defendant Trevon Moore, represented by Lawrence Rosenberg, denied an assistant state attorney’s plea offer of life, suspending all but 25 years, with five years supervised probation for attempted first-degree murder and a consecutive five years without parole for use of a firearm in a violent crime in connection to an incident that occurred on Jan 24.
Moore is accused with firing a gun inside the Roosevelt Park Recreation Center gymnasium on the 1200 block of W. 36th Street. As stated in court documents, several staff members said there was an altercation between Moore and another student and their parents over an interaction with a female student. Surveillance footage showed a man, later identified as Moore, pull out a gun from his waistband and fire toward the parents entering the gymnasium. No one was injured in the incident.
According to the Maryland Judiciary website, Moore is charged with attempted murder in the first and second degree, assault in the first and second degree, firearm use in a felony violent crime, reckless endangerment, illegal possession of a firearm, having a loaded handgun on his person, carrying a handgun on his person, two counts of having a handgun within 100 years of a public area, illegal possession of ammo, and discharging firearms.
Judge Mellissa Phinn scheduled Moore’s trial on Sept. 15 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry G. Williams. It is expected to last four days.
