Fauntleroy, 28, is charged with attempted first and second-degree murder, first and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, firearm possession with a felony conviction, and illegal possession of a regulated firearm, possessing a firearm with a drug conviction, having a loaded handgun on his person, use of a firearm in a felony violent crime, and discharging firearms in connection with an incident that occurred on April 16.

According to the Daily Voice, Fauntleroy was arrested and charged with the shooting of a 53-year-old man on the 900 block of Leadenhall Street.
