Ridge, Maryland - On December 1, 2014, deputies responded to a residence
in the 13000 block of Point Lookout Road for a reported armed robbery. Deputies
determined the victim had been robbed of cash at gunpoint by an African
American male as he exited his residence. Detectives and Crime lab Technicians from the
Criminal Investigations Division responded and assumed the investigation.
Detectives learned the victim had recently received a substantial amount of money and that several people knew the victim would have the money on him or at
his residence. When the victim returned home on the night of December 1st, he discovered his residence
had been burglarized. He exited the residence at which time he was confronted by an
African American male armed with a handgun.
The suspect indicated he knew the victim had money and ordered him to empty his pockets. The suspect then shot at the victim; however the gun misfired and the victim fled on
foot. As the victim ran the suspect continued to shoot at him; one bullet struck a vehicle while a woman and a small
child were sitting inside. The
victim was able to hide in the woods and the suspect fled the area on foot.
