Accused Brighton Street shooter Bryant Floyd was given an October trial date on Aug. 8 in Baltimore City Circuit Court’s reception court, where he rejected a five-year plea offer from the prosecution.

The 31-year-old defendant, who is represented by defense attorney Daniel Mooney, rejected the prosecution’s plea of 15 years, suspending all but five years without parole, and five years of supervised probation for firearm possession with a felony conviction and a concurrent three years for illegal possession of ammo before Judge Melissa Phinn.

The plea also required Floyd to register as a gun offender.

Counsel agreed on a trial date of Oct. 27, which was scheduled for one day before Judge Lawrence Fletcher-Hill.

Floyd’s charges stem from a shooting on March 11, 2023, on the 3300 block of Brighton Street. Baltimore Police Department officers investigating the shooting learned that the defendant allegedly shot a 28-year-old man, who shot back.

In addition to the aforementioned charges, Floyd is also facing three counts of illegal possession of a firearm, having a handgun in a vehicle, having a handgun on his person and firing a gun in Baltimore City.
