Background: On July 4, 2023, at approximately 4:12 p.m., deputies assigned to the Southern Precinct of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the 600 block of Edgewood Road for the report of a shooting. Upon arriving on the scene, deputies discovered Rayvon Perry, 21, of Aberdeen, near the Royal Farms with a gunshot wound to the lower body.
Deputies rendered first aid to the shooting victim until medics arrived and transported Perry to a local trauma center. Three additional victims, Cameron Ward, 21, of Edgewood, and two male juveniles, both age 17, were located at area hospitals seeking medical attention for gunshot wounds. The initial investigation indicated the shooting occurred in the 600 block of Harr Park Court, where a group had gathered.
A fight ensued resulting in multiple gunshots causing the crowd to disperse.
The investigation was conducted by detectives from the HCSO Criminal Investigations Division and has been in progress for the last 10 months. HCSO units working the investigation include the Criminal Investigations Division, Special Investigations Division, Special Operations Division, Court Services Division, and the Southern Precinct, along with outside agencies including Maryland State Police, Baltimore County Police Department, Aberdeen Police Department, and Maryland Transportation Authority Police.
Sheriff Gahler remarked, “the effective collaboration between the Harford County Sheriff’s Office and its law enforcement and community partners are foundational for crime reduction and safe communities. By leveraging evidence-based, data-driven tactics, and community engagement, investigators and patrol deputies successfully combined traditional policing methods with modern technology. The familiarity of the arrested individuals to law enforcement underscores the importance of community knowledge in solving cases. These arrests are expected to make a lasting positive impact on the community.”
