Michael Simms was taken into custody Tuesday in the 800 block of Glade Court in connection with the April 23 shooting, Baltimore Police said. Simms is charged with first- and second-degree attempted murder and first- and second-degree assault.

The charges stem from a shooting reported about 4:16 a.m. April 23 in the 4100 block of 6th Street, police said. Officers handling that call found a 27-year-old man shot in the arm. He was taken to a hospital for treatment of his injuries.

Based on a preliminary investigation, detectives suspect that Simms shot the victim following an unspecified dispute, police said. He remains in custody while awaiting trial on a list of charges related to the shooting.
