Two late-night shootings in Calvert County reported earlier this month have led to arrests by Southern Maryland authorities, police reports and court records confirmed.
According to a release from the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office, shortly before 11 p.m. on May 3, deputies responded to a home on H.G. Trueman Road for a reported drive-by shooting.
The deputies “observed shell casings in the roadway and damage to the exterior of the residence.”
In court documents, Detective Wyatt McDowell stated the home’s front door and front window showed evidence of bullet strikes.
Inside the home at the time were a 24-year-old man, a 26-year-old woman and a 3-year-old juvenile. No injuries were reported.
Three Charles county residents were subsequently identified as suspects. They reportedly fled the scene and were pursued by the man inside the residence, identified by investigators as Quentin Antoine Harley Jr., 24, of Lusby.
A release from the sheriff’s office reported Harley is alleged to have shot at the vehicle “while on Route 231 prior to the Benedict Bridge.”
The three suspects in the shooting at the Lusby house were subsequently apprehended by Charles sheriff’s patrol officers in Waldorf.
McDowell stated in court papers the trio’s vehicle was located at the Wingate Hotel. A bullet hole was located in the vehicle, the detective stated.
The three are identified as Krystal Marie Davis and Damar Malik Abney, both 23, along with Takwon Demarion Mason, 21, all of Waldorf.
Davis and Abney were both charged with three counts each of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault, plus one charge of firearm use in a violent crime.
Court records show Mason has not been charged in Calvert at this time. He is in the custody of Charles County authorities facing other gun related charges in that jurisdiction.
Davis, Abney and Mason are all being held without bond.
Harley was arrested May 8 and is also charged with three counts each of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault plus one charge of firearm use in a violent crime.
On Monday District Court Judge Michelle Saunders set Harley’s bail at $50,000, which he paid, resulting in his release, according to court records.
District court hearings for Davis and Abney are scheduled for June 3. Harley has a district court hearing the following day.
McDowell said in court documents that the incident possibly stemmed from a custody dispute.
The Calvert sheriff’s office said their investigation “remains ongoing.”
