Therron Spencer, 29, was offered a plea deal in Baltimore City Circuit Court for his alleged connection to a March shooting on the 3100 block of Oakford Avenue.
A Baltimore City jury acquitted his father, Brandon Spencer, 49, on eight charges in connection with the same incident on Oct. 22.
The elder Spencer was found not guilty of attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, reckless endangerment, firearm use in a felony or violent crime, having a handgun on his person, having a handgun on his person, illegal possession, and discharging a firearm in Baltimore City. The jury did not reach a verdict on firearm possession with a felony conviction.
Therron Spencer is charged with attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, illegal possession of a firearm, handgun on person, several other firearm charges, and reckless endangerment.
According to charging documents, on March 30, 2026, Baltimore City Police responded to the 3100 block of Oakford Avenue after reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, police located several cartridge casings on the ground, along with suspected blood.
The victim was located at a nearby hospital suffering from several gunshot wounds to the jaw, both legs, and lower back in critical condition.
Investigators learned that the shooting allegedly occurred at a cookout after an argument broke out among attendees. Witnesses said that Spencer became upset with others there. When the argument escalated, a man tried to intervene. Witnesses allege that Spencer then reached into his bag and fired a handgun.
On Nov. 4, the prosecution initially offered Spencer 50 years, suspending all but 20 years. However, Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Lynn Mays proposed a revised offer of 60 years, suspending all but seven years.
“I watched the video; it’s clear it’s you,” Judge Mays said to Spencer.
“Something in my gut is telling me not to take it”, Spencer said during the description of the plea offer.
“This is dangerous. Do you understand that, Mr.Spencer?” Defense attorney John Deros said to his client.
Meanwhile, the case is headed to trial on Nov. 6.
