David Linthicum, 25, is on trial for attempted murder after a violent incident on February 8, 2023, when his father called 911 seeking help for his son, who was suicidal and armed. During the police response, Linthicum fired an AR-15 at officers, injuring Officer Barry Jordan, and subsequently led authorities on a three-day manhunt that resulted in further violence, including the shooting of Detective Jonathan Chih. Prosecutors argue that Linthicum intentionally targeted the officers, while defense lawyers claim he was in a mental health crisis and that police exacerbated the situation. Jurors have been shown body camera footage from the incident, highlighting the chaos and the immediate danger faced by responding officers. The case has sparked significant public interest and debate over police conduct and mental health interventions. Linthicum faces multiple charges related to the shootings and carjacking, with the trial continuing as jurors hear testimonies and view evidence.
