A Baltimore man charged in a 2024 gas station shooting was convicted of multiple counts of attempted murder, firearm use, and related offenses after jurors reached a unanimous verdict on June 16.
Jurors found Travis Demontra Maynor, 46, guilty of two counts of attempted second-degree murder, three counts of firearm use, four gun offenses, armed robbery, and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. The trial was held before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Yolanda A. Tanner, and concluded the evening of June 15.
Authorities connected Maynor to an Aug. 20, 2024 shooting that occurred at a Carroll Motor Fuels gas station on the 4100 block of Patterson Avenue. The incident, which occurred around 10:15 p.m. that night, left a 28-year-old man injured with multiple gunshot wounds.
During closing arguments, the state drew jurors’ attention to cell phone location data and surveillance footage that placed Maynor near the scene of the shooting. Investigators also recovered a silver firearm from a backpack that was found to contain Maynor’s vehicle registration records.
Maynor’s defense attorney, Andre Mahasa, argued that the state presented insufficient evidence to establish his client’s guilt, pointing to what he argued were holes in the state’s investigation. He stressed testimony from the case’s lead detective, who backtracked initial sworn statements that Maynor had been wearing a mask in the recovered surveillance footage.
Jurors ultimately sided with the prosecutor who told jurors during rebuttal that Mahasa was attempting to distract jurors from the evidence presented throughout trial.
Maynor has yet to receive a date for sentencing.
