According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland, Delantae Phillips, a 37-year-old Baltimore resident, has been indicted on a charge of illegal firearm possession by a prohibited person while subject to a domestic violence restraining order. The indictment details allegations that Phillips knowingly possessed a Glock model 21 semi-automatic handgun with 12 rounds of ammunition on May 24, 2025. At the time of the alleged offense, Phillips was legally barred from possessing a firearm due to a final protective order issued against him by the District Court of Baltimore County.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
This indictment is part of a broader initiative by the U.S. Department of Justice to combat intimate partner firearm violence. Baltimore City has been designated under Section 1103 of the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022, focusing on the prosecution of domestic violence offenders who are prohibited from owning firearms. Phillips’ case is being handled in conjunction with federal, local, and state law enforcement partners, as well as Baltimore community organizations, to reduce violent crime and enhance public safety. This collaborative approach aims to ensure federal resources are effectively utilized to address intimate-partner firearm violence.
The case is also part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program designed to reduce violent crime and gun violence by fostering trust between law enforcement and communities, supporting violence prevention organizations, and implementing targeted enforcement strategies. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland has expressed its commitment to working with partners to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who are legally prohibited from possessing them, thereby aiming to prevent violence and save lives. The partnership between federal agencies, local police, and prosecutors is highlighted as crucial in these efforts.
