Thank you for reading Baltimore Witness. Help us continue our mission into 2024.

A 21-year-old defendant charged with attempted first-degree murder rejected a plea offer before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa M. Phinn on June 7.

Jeremiah Davis and his defense counsel, Todd Oppenheim, who took over the case from Davis’s previous defense attorney, Stephanie Salter, rejected a plea offer of 45 years, suspending all but 25 years with five years of probation for first-degree attempted murder, and a concurrent sentence of five years without parole for the possession of a firearm as a minor.

According to the Maryland Judiciary website, Davis, 21, is charged with attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, possession of a firearm as a minor, firearm use in a felony violent crime, carrying and wearing a handgun on his person, discharging firearms, and reckless endangerment in connection to an incident on April 27, 2021.

Court documents detail that officers were dispatched to the 5400 block of Jamestown Court on the day of the incident for reports of a discharging firearm. Upon arrival, the officers located the victim, who advised that the defendant shot at her after she left her house and was walking to her vehicle.

The defendant’s trial was scheduled for Oct. 25 with Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Kendra Y. Ausby.
