MARYLAND – A 16-year-old rapper known as ‘Baby K’ will be tried as an adult on charges in the attempted killing of a student on a school bus, a judge ruled Thursday.
Baby K, whose real name is Kaden Holland, was 15 years old when he went onto a Maryland school bus in May 2023 and attempted to shoot a student when his gun malfunctioned, and his plan failed.
A judge has now decided that Holland’s actions were not that of “the impulsiveness of youth” and he will be tried as an adult, WTOP News reported.
Holland’s defense attorney, Micheal Lawlor, argued that the now 16-year-old is ” is a child, that is a matter of fact” and that the crime he’s accused of committing happened when he was too young to be mature enough to know.
He stated that Holland was 14 when he was shot in his leg and had multiple friends that were killed by gun violence, according to the outlet.
Trial is set to begin in March 18.
