BALTIMORE – The Independent Investigations Division (IID) of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General is investigating a fatal police-involved shooting that occurred on Friday in White Plains, Charles County, Maryland.
Preliminary investigation revealed that on Friday, December 20, 2024, at approximately 3:00 p.m., deputies with the Charles County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home in the 7300 block of Tottenham Drive in White Plains after receiving a 911 call for a report of a kidnapping and sexual assault in progress at that location. Upon arriving on scene, computer aided dispatch records indicate that deputies advised that they observed a man wearing a mask inside the residence. The deputies eventually encountered the man inside the home’s two-car garage, which was open. During the interaction, deputies discharged their service weapons, striking the man. Deputies provided medical aid until EMS arrived on scene and transported the man to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead. Circumstances surrounding the interaction at the home remain under investigation.
The IID will generally release the name of the decedent and discharging officers within two business days of the incident, although that period may be extended, if necessary, pursuant to IID protocol.
Some of the deputies on scene were equipped with body-worn cameras, which recorded the incident. The IID will generally release body-worn camera footage within 20 business days of an incident. There may be situations where more than 20 days is necessary, including if investigators need more time to complete witness interviews, if there are technical delays caused by the need to shield the identities of civilian witness, or to allow family members to view the video before it is released to the public.
