BALTIMORE (AP) — A teenager who shot a 5-year-old girl in the head while firing a handgun wildly on a crowded Baltimore street has been sentenced to life plus 30 years in prison.
Eighteen-year-old Lamont Davis was convicted of second-degree attempted murder in last summer’s shooting of Raven Wyatt, who suffered brain damage. He was convicted of first-degree attempted murder for shooting his intended target, another teenager, in the arm.
Davis was being supervised by the Department of Juvenile Services at the time of the shootings and was participating in a GPS monitoring program.
Baltimore Circuit Judge Gale Rasin says Davis “deserves the full measure of punishment” despite his youth. He will be eligible for parole.
Davis’ attorney maintains that his client is innocent.
