BALTIMORE — The man accused of killing his girlfriend’s 6-year-old son had a last second delay in his first court appearance.
Alan Geslicki, 32, was set to have his bail hearing Thursday morning. But, when his case came up in court, his defense attorney said he wasn’t feeling well and requested a continuance.
The judge granted it, rescheduling the bail review for Friday.
Geslicki has been in custody since Tuesday night, police say he stabbed and killed Seron O’Neal at their home on the 2000 block of Deering Avenue.
Neighbors along that street are shaken by what happened.
“[I was] waking up out of my sleep, crying, and he wasn’t even my child,” one neighbor told WJZ on Wednesday. “[O’Neal] was always smiling, riding his bike, well-mannered.”
WJZ looked through Geslicki’s online court records, finding a criminal history that goes back a decade.
In 2014, Geslicki pleaded guilty to theft and drug possession charges in Hudson County, New Jersey. In 2022, he pleaded guilty to a theft charge in Baltimore County.
