Non-Fatal Shooting Defendant Rejects Eight Year Plea Offer

Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa K. Copeland scheduled the trial of a 43-year-old non-fatal shooting defendant who turned down a offer on Jan. 23. 

Jason Estrada is charged with firearm possession with a felony conviction, possession of a firearm in a controlled dangerous substance offense, four counts each of first- and second-degree assault, four counts of firearm use in a felony violent crime, reckless endangerment, having a handgun on his person, having a loaded handgun on his person and firing and discharging a firearm in connection to an Aug. 15, 2023, incident. 

The prosecutor in the case offered Estrada 25 years, suspending all but eight years, with three years of supervised probation for first-degree assault and a concurrent sentence of five years without the possibility of parole for firearm use in a felony violent crime. If Estrada pleaded guilty in this case, the prosecution would drop the charges in another case against him. Estrada rejected the offer. 

Estrada and his attorney Jason Rodriguez will appear for trial on April 10 before Judge Kendra Y. Ausby
