Defendant Candice Holden appeared before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Melissa K. Copeland to set a trial date in a shooting.
Holden, 40, is charged with two counts of attempted first-degree assault, second degree assault, and several other firearm related offenses in connection to the event that occurred near the 3000 block of North Harlem Avenue.
Baltimore Police Department (BPD) officers responded to a shooting call around 3:19pm on March 15 reporting a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Witnesses reported that a neighborhood dispute broke out over Holden’s alleged failure to pick up her dog’s waste, according to court documents. When the neighbor asked Holden to remove it from the yard, Holden was said to became verbally aggressive and left to get her boyfriend. Once returning, the neighbor’s wife confronted Holden and a fight broke out.
The two individuals were allegedly seen shoving and gripping each other’s hair when Holden grabbed a 9mm Glock 43 that had been strapped to her ankle, documents stated. After the fight was ended by bystanders Holden’s gun, which had gotten turned around during the altercation, fired and allegedly shot the victim in the thigh.
When officers arrived on scene, Holden’s boyfriend, car, and gun were gone. During a search and seizure, officers say they found the 9mm Glock in Holden’s residence.
The trial is expected to last three days and begin on Sept. 8 before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Althea M. Handy.
