A Baltimore City Circuit Court shooting defendant’s case was dismissed on June 12 because key witnesses needed for trial were not available.
Quintanil Rudy Portillo, 32, was charged with possession of a firearm without a serial number, reckless endangerment from a car, having a loaded handgun in a vehicle and on his person, having a handgun in a vehicle and on his person, discharging a firearm and two counts of drinking in public spaces for an incident on March 7.
The prosecutor entered a nolle prosequi motion ending the case acknowledging essential witnesses were not able to be at the trial scheduled to begin on Wednesday. Defense attorney Abraham Carpio agreed.
Judge Melissa K. Copeland agreed to dismiss the case.
