Attempted Murder Defendant Headed to Trial in May 2022 for New Year’s Day Shooting

Attempted murder suspect Joe Johnson will head to trial in the late spring of 2022 at Baltimore City Circuit Court.

The 27-year-old Baltimore resident is charged with attempted first and second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, first and second-degree assault, conspiracy to commit first and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, and conspiracy as well as seven weapons charges. 

The incident occurred on New Year’s Day in 2019.

On Dec. 20, defense attorney Deborah Warner-Dennis and the prosecution agreed on a trial date of May 16, 2022, which was approved by Judge Melissa M. Phinn.

Johnson, who was originally scheduled to appear in-person on Monday, last appeared in court nearly six months ago when he rejected a plea offer.
