On Aug. 26, a homicide defendant had his trial scheduled for February 2023 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa M. Phinn.

Dorrell Jackson, 26, is charged with first-degree murder, use of a firearm during a felony violent crime, possession of a firearm with a felony conviction, having a handgun on his person, having a handgun in a vehicle, and use of a deadly weapon with the intent to injure in connection to the shooting of Amir Whyee, 21.
