The trial of 37-year-old Antonio Grant concluded with closing statements before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Videtta A. Brown on March 26.
Grant faces 10 charges, including attempted murder, assault and several firearm offenses, in connection to a double shooting incident that occurred May 5, 2025, outside a Carroll Motor Fuels gas station on the 2800 block of Edmondson Avenue. Surveillance footage showed the perpetrator firing a weapon seven times at two victims before fleeing the scene. Neither victim was struck.
Prior to the shooting, CCTV cameras at the gas station recorded the shooter entering the premises, greeting an individual with a handshake and scanning the area for the two victims before opening fire on them as they entered his view on bicycles.
Before closing arguments began, defense attorney Koryn High entered a motion for acquittal, claiming the state had not met its burden of proving Grant’s guilt. Judge Brown denied this motion.
“They were just riding their bikes, and he wanted to kill them,” the state told jurors during closing arguments.
The state further explained that a BOLO flyer released by officers proved key in identifying Grant as a suspect. Following the flyer’s release, a Baltimore Police Department (BPD) officer matched the suspect in the flyer to Grant’s appearance through an Instagram post made by one of the defendant’s friends.
High argued that “the case is incomplete [and] there are puzzle pieces missing.” She maintained Grant was not the shooter, claiming the state failed to produce enough evidence to support that conclusion.
Jurors are currently deliberating.
