A defendant wanted in connection to a non-fatal shooting received an August trial date before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa Copeland on May 24.
Sean Cherry, 20, is charged with 29 counts including attempted first and second-degree murder, first and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, discharging a firearm, firearm possession by a convicted felon among other charges for a non-fatal shooting on Sept. 16, 2023. Cherry was arrested in January for the offense.
During the Friday hearing, Cherry was offered a plea deal, sentencing him to 60 years suspending all but 45 years in prison with five years on parole and registering as a gun offender if he pleaded guilty to several counts including attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, and reckless endangerment. Cherry rejected the offer.
Judge Copeland set a trial date on Aug. 26 for three days before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Lynn Stewart Mays.
