On December 24, 2017, at
approximately 4:04 PM, deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office and
Maryland State Police from the Leonardtown Barrack, responded to a report of a
shooting, in the 38000 block of Dukeharts Creek Road, in Coltons Point,
Maryland. Detectives and Crime Lab
Technicians from the Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene to continue the
investigation.
The investigation determined a
66-year old male was visiting relatives at the residence when an argument
ensued. The 66-year old subject began
discharging a firearm towards the homeowner, a 45-year old male. The homeowner returned fire striking the 66-year
old male. Lifesaving efforts were
initiated by responding law enforcement and rescue squad personnel which were
not successful. The 66-year old male
succumbed to his injuries at the scene, and was later transported to the Office
of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy.
