On June 27, a Baltimore resident charged with attempted murder accepted a plea of time served before Baltimore City Circuit Court retired Judge Paul E. Albert.
Shelton Price was charged with four counts of first and second-degree attempted murder, four counts of first and second-degree assault, use of a firearm during a violent crime, four counts of reckless endangerment, having a handgun on his person, having a loaded handgun on his person, and discharging a firearm in connection to a shooting that occurred on Oct. 1, 2020, on the 3300 block of Bel Air Road.
On Monday, Price accepted a plea of 25 years in prison, suspending all but time served, for first-degree assault after being incarcerated for 1 year, 8 months, and 8 days.
Price’s defense attorney Bradley MacFee said he believes the generosity of this deal is in part due to a victim’s subsequent incarceration. The victim in this matter is also incarcerated for his possession of a firearm during the incident. The victim is serving 5 years in prison for possessing a firearm with a felony conviction.
MacFee said he believes the victim tried to rob Price, which led to an exchange of gunfire that left four individuals wounded.
