(Towson, MD) \u2013 A Baltimore County man is charged with attempted murder following a reported highway shooting in Howard County.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The accused is identified as Quwan Gordon, 48, of Owings Mills, Maryland.\u00a0 Gordon is currently charged with attempted murder, use of a gun in the commission of a felony, and other related offenses.\u00a0 Gordon was arrested on the morning of August 13, 2024 at his Baltimore County residence on related gun and drug charges without incident.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

On Monday, August 12, 2024, at approximately 1:30 p.m., Maryland State Troopers from Waterloo Barrack responded to a reported shooting on I-95 at mile marker 44 in Howard County. The victims told police they were shot at during a \u201croad rage\u201d dispute with another motorist driving a white Volkswagen.<\/p>\n

Troopers on scene observed the victim\u2019s vehicle to have been shot through the passenger compartment. The Maryland State Police Crime Scene Unit processed the victim\u2019s vehicle for evidence and subsequently recovered projectiles. The victims were uninjured during the incident.<\/p>\n

State Police investigators were able to identify and locate the white Volkswagen and the driver, later identified as Gordon.\u00a0 Search warrants were served at Gordon\u2019s Owings Mills address and on the vehicle, resulting in the seizure of felony amounts of suspected MDMA, fentanyl, and a loaded handgun.\u00a0 Gordon is prohibited from possessing firearms based on prior felony convictions.\u00a0 Gordon was charged initially with gun and drug violations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Further investigation led by criminal investigators from the Maryland State Police uncovered evidence linking Gordon to the highway shooting on August 12 in Howard County.\u00a0 After consultation with the Howard County State\u2019s Attorney’s Office, Gordon was charged yesterday with attempted murder and related offenses.\u00a0 Gordon is currently being held without bond at the Baltimore County Detention Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n
