An attempted murder defendant did not appear for his trial scheduling hearing before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa Phinn on Jan. 24 due to his health.
Defendant Victor Shuron II did not appear for his hearing because he was hospitalized, according to the defense attorney standing in for John Cox on Tuesday. The defendant was unable to be presented via zoom despite the court waiting all morning to see if he would appear.
Judge Phinn continued the case and scheduled it to be called again in reception court on Jan. 27 at 8:45 a.m.
According to the Baltimore Police Department (BPD), Shuron is charged with the attempted murder of a 19-year-old male on the 1000 block of South Charles Street following a dispute on May 13, 2022.
Shuron is charged with attempted first and second-degree murder, first-degree assault, firearm use in a felony violent crime, firearm possession with a felony conviction, having a handgun on his person, having a handgun in a vehicle, and discharging firearms.
