On July 20, 2019, at 11:14 p.m.
deputies from the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office responded to the reported
motor vehicle collision in the 27400 block of Three Notch Road, in the area of
Harpers Corner Road in Mechanicsville. Deputies arrived on scene and were advised
by Marvin Leander Jones Jr., age 49 of Waldorf, that he was driving on Three Notch
Road when another vehicle collided with his vehicle, however he was unable to
locate the other vehicle. Deputies began checking the area and observed
motorcycle debris. Deputies quickly located an injured subject who was lying in bushes, off the roadway. The individual
was later identified as Steven Marcus Gilmore, age 22 of Mechanicsville. Lifesaving measures were attempted on scene
however Gilmore ultimately succumbed to his injuries. The St. Mary’s County
Sheriff’s Office Accident Reconstruction Unit responded to the scene and
continued the investigation.
Preliminary investigation determined
Jones was traveling southbound on Three Notch Road operating a 2013 Dodge
Durango. Gilmore was also traveling southbound on Three Notch Road operating a
2018 Suzuki GSX motorcycle. For unknown reasons Gilmore ran into the back of the
Durango, causing Gilmore’s motorcycle to leave the roadway, strike a curb, and
Gilmore being ejected from the motorcycle.
