At just before 7:30 p.m. on February 12, 2023, a Baltimore County police officer who was in the area Towsontown Boulevard and Washington Avenue (21204) heard multiple gunshots and saw a vehicle drive by before crashing.

Officers approached the vehicle and found an adult male driver who had sustained at least one apparent gunshot wound.  Medics took the victim to an area hospital for treatment.
