Medford Road Suspect Guilty of 2 Firearm Offenses, Acquitted of 11 Counts

Jurors acquitted 22-year-old Derrien Gamble on 11 of his 39 charges in an attempted murder case before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Jennifer B. Schiffer on Oct. 20.  

Gamble was found not guilty of all attempted murder, assault, and conspiracy charges, but guilty of illegal possession of a firearm and having a loaded handgun on his person. Meanwhile, jurors failed to reach a verdict on the remaining charges, including firearm use in a felony crime of violence, reckless endangerment, illegal ammunition possession, and property destruction. 

He was charged in connection to a Feb. 4 shooting that occurred on the 1500 block of Medford Road. The victims, a female and male who were respectively 60 and 17 years old at the time, both suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Four months prior, Gamble was sentenced to life, suspending all but 15 years, for the murder of 19-year-old Tyree Bell. Bell was killed nine days after the Medford Road shooting, on the 2900 block of E. Preston Street. 

Gamble is yet to be scheduled for sentencing in that matter.
