Shajuan Rice was found guilty on Nov. 9, 2026, of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence and related offenses, the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office announced Tuesday. He faces a maximum penalty of four life sentences plus 60 years at a disposition hearing still to be scheduled.

The charges stem from a July 2, 2025, shooting in the 3600 block of Ravenwood Avenue. Around 3:17 p.m., multiple ShotSpotter alerts drew Baltimore police to the area. Officers found 26-year-old Daquan Phillips in the rear of 3628 Ravenwood Ave. with a gunshot wound to the leg. Inside the same address, they found 25-year-old Ronald Glasco suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. Glasco was pronounced dead at the scene, and his death was ruled a homicide.

According to prosecutors, video footage showed Glasco and a passenger parked in the 3700 block of Ravenwood Avenue before walking toward the 3600 block. Two suspects then exited a dark vehicle, drew handguns and ran toward the two men. One of them opened fire up the street, striking Glasco. The suspects returned to the car, drove up the street and turned right, prosecutors said, and additional shots were fired at Phillips as he tried to flee from the rear of 3628 Ravenwood Ave.

Investigators determined the shooting was connected to an earlier incident: a June 21, 2025, shooting in the 3800 block of Belle Avenue, where Phillips had been charged with attempted murder. Rice was present with the victim of that earlier shooting, according to the state's attorney's office. Phillips later took his own life, prosecutors said.

Rice was arrested on Aug. 11, 2025, in an Acura. Police recovered his phone and found a handgun inside the vehicle. Firearms testing determined the gun was used in the Ravenwood Avenue shooting, and Rice's DNA was found on the weapon, prosecutors said. Historical cell site analysis placed Rice's phone near both the Ravenwood Avenue and Belle Avenue shootings on the days and at the times they occurred, according to the state's attorney's office. A cellphone extraction also turned up a saved picture of Glasco and his passenger that had been stored on Rice's phone two days after the Belle Avenue shooting.

Assistant State's Attorney Brent Weinberg prosecuted the case.

"Baltimore will not be a city where people take the law into their own hands," State's Attorney Ivan J. Bates said in a statement. "This Defendant now faces the possibility of four Life sentences plus an additional 60 years in prison for choosing retaliation and gun violence over the justice system. That is the steep price of deciding to settle a score with a gun, and I hope it serves as a warning to anyone contemplating similar acts of violence."

Bates also urged victims and witnesses to cooperate with police rather than seek revenge.

"If you are a victim or a witness to a crime, come forward to the police. Give us the information and the opportunity to pursue justice on your behalf," he said. "But if you choose to take matters into your own hands, putting innocent lives at risk through violence, understand that our office will pursue you with the same determination and resolve that we bring to prosecuting the person who wronged you. There is no justification for retaliatory violence, and we will hold those who commit it fully accountable."

The conviction closes a case that relied heavily on technology — ShotSpotter alerts, surveillance video, cell site records and DNA — to reconstruct a retaliatory shooting that unfolded in broad daylight on a residential block. For Belair-Edison residents, it marks a measure of accountability in a neighborhood that has contended with gun violence, while the pending sentencing will determine how long Rice remains behind bars.
