An 18-year-old Baltimore man accused of opening fire on a 13-year-old on McCulloh Street is now headed for a fall jury trial in adult court. Prosecutors say the defendant, identified in court filings as Antonio Ennals and known by the nickname "Bink," has been tied to the November shooting through surveillance footage and witness statements. Ennals has pleaded not guilty, and the case has been moved onto the adult court docket.
Charges, Plea and Schedule
According to charging documents, Ennals is charged as an adult with attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, firearm use in a felony violent crime, and multiple conspiracy counts. A reverse-waiver bid to keep the case in juvenile court was denied during pretrial proceedings on June 3, and Ennals entered a not-guilty plea on June 16. The case is set for a jury trial on Oct. 7 before Circuit Court Judge Anthony F. Vittoria. Charging papers also note that the state has not yet conveyed a plea offer, as reported by Baltimore Witness.
Police Account of the Shooting
Baltimore Police say officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert on Nov. 16, 2025, in the 2200 block of McCulloh Street and found a 13-year-old boy suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, according to WBAL. A department media advisory states the victim was transported to Johns Hopkins Hospital for surgery and that Western District detectives took over the investigation. Police urged anyone with information to contact the Western District tip line or Metro Crime Stoppers, the Baltimore Police Department noted.
Evidence Cited in Charging Papers
Charging documents reviewed by reporters say CitiWatch cameras recorded two males pulling out firearms and shooting at the 13-year-old. The papers state that the victim later identified Ennals, referred to by the nickname "Bink," as one of the shooters. Prosecutors indicate that the surveillance footage and witness statements will form a core part of the case when evidence is presented to a jury, as reported by Baltimore Witness.
Neighborhood Impact and Broader Pattern
The McCulloh Street shooting unfolded during a tense mid-November stretch that saw other teens wounded and several nonfatal shootings, amplifying neighborhood frustration about youth gun violence. Local reporters and crime trackers documented multiple nearby incidents in that period, and residents say the familiar calls for witnesses and community support seem to arrive after every new round of gunfire.

Legal Implications
Under Maryland law, an attempt to commit first-degree murder is a felony that can carry a potential life sentence. Separate statutes allow enhanced penalties for using a firearm during a violent felony. The state’s sentencing guidelines list attempted first-degree murder among the offenses with the highest possible exposure, and those statutory maximums frame what prosecutors and defense attorneys will be weighing as the case moves toward trial. For details on the legal maximums and guideline ranges, see the offense table from the Maryland State Commission on Criminal Sentencing Policy, as published by the Maryland State Commission on Criminal Sentencing Policy.
