A Louisiana man charged with a non-fatal shooting in June was released on home detention but must remain in Baltimore until his trial, a Baltimore City Circuit Court judge ruled on Aug. 23.

Terrell Robinson, a 28-year-old truck driver, appeared in court before Judge Jeannie Hong on Tuesday when his defense attorney, Dominic Iamele, asked the judge to reconsider his client’s bail after it was denied in July.

The defendant is charged with six weapons charges, including discharging firearms, as well as assault and reckless endangerment for the incident on June 7.

Iamele’s argument was unintelligible for listeners, including Judge Hong and the prosecutor, due to a poor Zoom connection. However, the prosecutor informed the judge that Robinson allegedly chased the victim in a parking lot, firing a gun at the victim, who was running away.

The prosecutor said Robinson brought the weapon across state lines and has no ties to Baltimore or Maryland before asking the defendant be held without bail.

After brief consideration, Judge Hong agreed to release Robinson on home detention, which she described as “really, really strict.” Although he will be allowed to continue working, the judge noted that Robinson must stay away from the victim, and a warrant would be issued for his arrest if he violates home detention.
