Defense attorney Maura Lynch spoke on behalf of her client in mental health court on Aug. 23, before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge E. Gale Raisin to request her client undergo an additional mental health evaluation. 

The motion was filed on the grounds of further evaluation under the Developmental Disabilities Administration in conjunction with the facility in which the defendant is currently housed in. Since a request was made to have the defendant reassessed, the trial date was further delayed. The defendant is expected to appear in front of Judge Raisin again on Sept. 16. 

As reported by Baltimore Witness, Arthur McCaden was charged in relation to a fatal shooting that occurred on April 30. McCaden, 18, was suspected in the murder of Fabian Alberto Sanchez Gonzalez, who was working at the T-Mobile store in the 2500 block of Boston Street. Sanchez was shot several times at the scene, and later died as a result of his wounds in the hospital. 

According to the Maryland Judiciary website, McCaden is charged with first-degree murder, two counts of attempted robbery, three counts of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, three counts of firearm use in a violent felony crime, three counts of first-degree assault, two counts of conspiracy to use a firearm in a violent felony crime, armed robbery, possession of a firearm as a minor, illegal possession of a regulated firearm, and having a handgun on his person.
