On July 11, Charles County Sheriff's detectives assigned to the Criminal Investigations Division arrested Earl Tryee Porter, 17, of Waldorf, in connection with a shooting that occurred at a party on July 7 in the 4900 block of Derryfield Court in Waldorf.

Porter and a group of friends showed up at the party, uninvited, after hearing about it through social networking. Porter began arguing with several people at the party and pulled a handgun and fired multiple shots.

One of the rounds struck a 19-year-old male in the face. Porter fled and the victim was transported to a hospital where he was admitted in stable condition.

Detectives subsequently identified Porter as the shooter and obtained an arrest warrant charging him as an adult with attempt murder. Porter was located at his residence and arrested without incident.

Evidence linking Porter to the shooting was also recovered.

Porter was remanded to the Charles County Detention Center with no bond.
