On June 3, Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Dana M. Middleton placed a non-fatal shooting case on the stet, or inactive, docket, after the prosecutor and the defense could not agree on a plea offer.
Defendant Christopher Streeter, 25, faces two charges of having a handgun and loaded handgun on his person and one charge of discharging a firearm in Baltimore City for a November 2023 incident.
The prosecutor stated that they were in plea negotiations, however the defense decided to put this case on the stet docket, after counsel were unable to agree on an offer.
During Monday’s hearing, defense attorney Sabrina Woods, standing in for Roland Harris, explained to Streeter that the court could postpone the trial for three years. The stet will allow either the prosecution or the defense to re-open the case within the first year, however counsel must have probable cause to re-open the case in its second and third year from the docket, to which Streeter agreed.
According to court documents, Baltimore Police Department investigators recovered surveillance footage from a convenience store that showed Streeter as a victim of a shooting. The video surveillance depicted Streeter sitting outside the 4100 block of Frederick Avenue, when three unknown suspects walked up to him.
Two suspects pulled a gun, and Streeter ran into a building across the street, while the three suspects shot at him from the foyer area, but fled the scene after nine seconds.
Detectives matched a distinctive red and black coat, gray pants and black boots from the surveillance footage and in the hospital, concluding that Streeter accidently shot himself in the foot trying to engage in a gunfight with the three unknown suspects.
