BALTIMORE (WBFF) — A man convicted in a deadly double shooting in Baltimore’s Belair-Edison neighborhood now faces the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison.
The Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday, Nov. 10, that Shajuan Rice was found guilty on all counts at a trial held Nov. 9, 2026.
Rice was convicted on charges including first-degree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence, attempted first-degree murder and related offenses.
Prosecutors said Rice was involved in the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Ronald Glasco and the nonfatal shooting of Daquan Phillips on July 2, 2025, in the 3600 block of Ravenwood Avenue.
The state’s attorney’s office said Rice faces a maximum penalty of four life sentences plus 60 years at a pending disposition hearing. Assistant State’s Attorney Brent Weinberg prosecuted the case.
Baltimore will not be a city where people take the law into their own hands,” Baltimore City State’s Attorney Ivan J. Bates said. “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 said.
“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,” Bates 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.”
According to prosecutors, on July 2, 2025, at about 3:17 p.m., multiple ShotSpotter alerts were received around the 3600 block of Ravenwood Avenue. Baltimore police officers responded and found 26-year-old Daquan Phillips in the rear area of 3628 Ravenwood Ave. suffering from an apparent gunshot wound to the leg.
Officers then found a second victim inside 3628 Ravenwood Ave. suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. That victim was identified as Glasco, who was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was ruled a homicide.
Prosecutors said video footage showed Glasco and his passenger parked in the 3700 block of Ravenwood Avenue and then walking toward the 3600 block. The footage showed two suspects getting out of a dark vehicle, pulling out handguns and running up the street toward Glasco and his companion. One of the men began firing up the street, striking Glasco.
The suspects then got back into the car, drove up the street and turned right, according to the state’s attorney’s office. Additional shots were fired at the surviving victim as he tried to flee from the rear of 3628 Ravenwood Ave., prosecutors said.
The investigation determined the shooting was related to a June 21, 2025, shooting on the 3800 block of Belle Avenue, where Phillips was charged with attempted murder. Investigators determined Rice was present with the victim of that attempted murder, according to the state’s attorney’s office.
Prosecutors said Phillips later took his own life.
On Aug. 11, 2025, officers lawfully arrested Rice in an Acura. During the arrest, police recovered his phone and found a handgun inside the vehicle, according to the state’s attorney’s office.
Firearms testing determined the handgun was used in the Ravenwood Avenue shooting, prosecutors said, and Rice’s DNA was found on the gun.
Prosecutors said historical cell site analysis placed Rice’s phone around both the Ravenwood Avenue shooting and the Belle Avenue shooting on the days and at the times of those incidents.
A cellphone extraction also found a saved picture of Glasco and his passenger that had been saved to Rice’s phone two days after the Belle Avenue shooting, according to the state’s attorney’s office.
