As of Feb. 7, a motion to dismiss a case against a Baltimore resident has been postponed.
Shelton Price, 32, is charged with four counts of first and second-degree attempted murder, four counts of first and second-degree assault, use of a firearm during a violent crime, four counts of reckless endangerment, having a handgun on his person, having a loaded handgun on his person, and discharging a firearm in connection to an incident on Oct. 1, 2020.
Price was initially offered a plea of 50 years, suspending all but 20, for attempted first-degree murder; 20 years for another count of attempted first-degree murder; and five years without the possibility of parole for use of a handgun during a violent crime. All of the sentences would run concurrently, however, the offer was rejected.
Although the motion to argue was scheduled for Monday the case did not take place.
During court proceedings, Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa Phinn listened as Price’s defense attorney Bradley MacFee said the motion was postponed.
According to Maryland’s Judiciary website, Price’s next hearing is scheduled for June 27.
