On Oct. 29, Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa K. Copeland postponed a 43-year-old attempted murder defendant to Jan. 8, 2025.
Marrico Bell faces multiple charges including attempted first- and second-degree murder, first-degree assault, firearm use in a felony violent crime, firearm possession with a felony conviction, illegal possession of ammunition, and firing a gun within Baltimore City in connection to a Feb. 3 shooting.
According to the Baltimore Police Department press release, the charges stem from an incident on the 1500 block of Carswell Street, where Bell allegedly shot a 32-year-old man.
On Tuesday, the prosecutor and defense attorney, Angela Shelton, said they anticipated the trial would last for three days.
Shelton stated that she and Bell were prepared to do an earlier date, but due to scheduling conflicts, the prosecutor stated that her witnesses were not available in November.
