A Baltimore City Circuit Court jury reached a June 10 verdict in the attempted murder case of a 37-year-old man nearly two years after a shooting paralyzed the victim.
Ahmad Moulden was convicted of attempted second-degree murder, firearm use in a felony violent crime, having a handgun on his person and discharging a firearm for his involvement in a July 10, 2022, incident on the 600 block of North Robertson Street.
Before Judge Jennifer B. Schiffer, no verdict was reached on first- and second-degree assault charges. The charge of having a loaded handgun on his person was removed after attorney Granville Templeton claimed that Moulden had no gun during closing arguments. Moulden was found not guilty of attempted first-degree murder.
Templeton throughout the trial argued that Moulden did not have a gun. In his closing argument, he repeated that claim and said that there were no shell castings and no follow up by police to the victim.
The prosecution played a video of Moulden talking to the victim and a 911 call in which the victim identified Moulden as his shooter. The victim cannot walk or talk as a result of the shooting, according to the prosecution.
A sentencing date has not been scheduled yet.
