The DA seems to have thrown a lot of charges at him, hoping to convict on something. 21-Year-Old Acquitted in Downtown Shooting - Baltimore Witness
Davon Matthews, 21, was acquitted of attempted murder, first-degree assault, reckless endangerment, firearm use, and two gun offenses. He was initially charged in connection to a Sept. 14, 2025, shooting that occurred on the 300 block of Light Street. An 18-year-old man was injured in the confrontation.
Seems like the DA couldn't make up his mind about charges.
Seems like police procedure might have been an issue.
Hanna argued that surveillance footage and witness testimony left unanswered questions about how the incident began. She contended that police failed to fully investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting and could not establish whose gun fired the shot that struck the victim.
Now I don't what happened or who was at fault, whether this is justice or not.
But I'm a bit surprised that the jury, in Baltimore, didn't find him guilty of something. I think the DA might have been surprised as well.
A laundry list of charges means the DA hates self defense and is throwing as many charges at their victim as possible hoping some sticks. And while the victim was acquitted never forget....THE PROCESS IS THE PUNISHMENT.
