The defendant convicted for murdering 24-year-old Tyrell Johnson-Woods had her sentencing hearing postponed before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Videtta Brown on May 10.

On Wednesday, defense attorney Natalie Finegar, who represents Brandi Renee Burrows, presented a joint request with the assistant state’s attorney to postpone sentencing.

Judge Brown granted the request for the 27-year-old defendant for Dec. 18.

According to charging statements, on June 18, 2021, Johnson-Woods was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the head and torso on the 3800 block of Derby Manor Drive. The victim was robbed of his belongings. A witness identified Burrows as one of the suspects in the case.

In September 2022, Burrows, now 27, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in connection to the death of Johnson-Woods.

In February, co-defendant Lundyne Oldes was scheduled to start trial on May 22.

The third co-defendant in this case, Devon Pailin, is scheduled to begin trial on Sep. 5.

Both Oldes and Pailin are charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, use of a firearm in a felony violent crime, and possession of a firearm with a felony conviction, according to the Maryland Judiciary website.
