Judge Schedules Attempted Murder Defendant’s Trial

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

On April 1, Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa K. Copeland set a trial date for 19-year-old Zion Davis.

Davis is charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, conspiracy to commit first-degree assault, conspiracy to commit second-degree assault, firearm use in a felony violent crime, conspiracy to use a firearm in a felony violent crime, conspiracy to have a handgun on his person and conspiracy to have a loaded handgun on his person in connection to an incident on the 1800 block of Calvert Street on Jan. 6, 2023.

The original trial set for April 1 was postponed due to a schedule conflict for Davis’ attorney, Natalie Finegar. She told the court she was already in a trial before Judge Anthony F. Vittoria.

Additionally, the prosecutor offered Davis a revised plea offer on Saturday, which he needed more time to consider.

Judge Copeland set the trial date for July 15. The trial is expected to last three days. Davis will appear with his attorney in front of Judge Videtta A. Brown.
