On November 8, 2011 at 10:19 P.M. police units responded to the area of Old Missouri Ave, Lexington Park, Md., for the report of a shooting incident. Officers arriving on the scene discovered a 20 year old male victim had been shot in the lower leg area by an unknown suspect.  The St. Mary’s County Bureau of Criminal Investigations responded and assumed the investigation.
