Accused Shooter Takes Plea of Five Years

A 20-year-old Baltimore man accepted a plea of five years on Dec. 10 for a non-fatal shooting on Church Street earlier this year.

Dominic Galloway was originally facing two counts each of attempted first and second-degree murder in addition to assault, reckless endangerment, theft, and multiple firearm and traffic-related charges.

During reception court on Friday, the prosecution offered Galloway a plea of eight years, which were suspended and three years of supervised probation for first-degree assault, including a stay-away from the 1000 block of Church Street and drug and alcohol screening and treatment.

Galloway also received a plea of five years without parole for firearm use in a felony violent crime to run concurrently, and a concurrent 60 days, which was suspended with $2,500 restitution for a hit-and-run.

According to the prosecution, Baltimore Police Department officers were called to Church Street around 10:30 a.m. on March 7 in response to a hit-and-run and gunfire. At the scene, Galloway was driving, hit another car, and then got out and ran away. He then pointed a handgun at the owner of the car and attempted to fire, later firing the gun in the air.

Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa M. Phinn approved the plea before Galloway and his defense attorney, Catherine Flynn.
