Defense attorney Jason Rodriguez requested a postponement before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa M. Phinn on Aug. 15.

Rodriguez needed time to discuss the new charges that arose with his client Perry Brown.

Judge Phinn set the trial for Oct. 18 before Baltimore City Judge Althea M. Handy.

On July 3, the defendant was found guilty of firearm use in a drug trafficking and was sentenced to five years before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry G. Williams in connection to a separate incident on Oct. 26, 2022

Charging documents state that Central District officers responded to the 300 block of Lexington Street for reports of a non-fatal shooting. The victim was transported to shock trauma shortly after officers arrived.

The incident was caught on CCTV cameras, this was used to identify Brown as a suspect.
