A 22-year-old murder defendant rejected a plea offer before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa K. Copeland June 7.
Keion Moore is charged with first-degree murder, firearm use in a felony violent crime and having a handgun on his person in connection to the Aug. 6, 2023, murder of Codell Brown.
Moore rejected the prosecution’s plea offer of life, suspending all but 50 years, for first-degree murder and a concurrent sentence of 20 years, the first five years without the possibility of parole, for firearm use in a felony violent crime. The deal also required Moore to serve five years of supervised probation and to register a gun offender.
Moore’s defense attorney Jerome Wilson and the prosecutor both agreed on a five-day trial beginning Oct. 1. However, October was not yet available for scheduling. Judge Copeland will notify counsel when she schedules the trial.
According to a Baltimore Police Department press release, Moore was transferred from a jail in Paterson, N.J., to be charged in this case. Investigators believe Moore killed Brown, 29, on the 500 block of Gorsuch Avenue.
