On August 24, Maryland law enforcement officials reported that 48-year-old Quwan Gordon of Owings Mills, Maryland, wascharged with attempted murder, following a reported highway shooting in Howard County. 

Gordon is currently charged with attempted murder, use of a gun in the commission of a felony, and other related offenses.  He was arrested on the morning of August 13 at his Baltimore County residence on related gun and drug charges without incident.   

Background: On Monday, August 12 at approximately 1:30 p.m., Maryland State Troopers from the Waterloo Barrack responded to a reported shooting on I-95 at mile marker 44 in Howard County. The victims told police they were shot at during a “road rage” dispute with another motorist who was driving a white Volkswagen.

Troopers on scene observed the victim’s vehicle to have been shot through the passenger compartment. The I-95 Crime Scene Unit processed the victim’s vehicle for evidence and subsequently recovered projectiles. The victims were uninjured during the incident.

State Police investigators were able to identify and locate the white Volkswagen and the driver, later identified as Gordon.  Search warrants were served at Gordon’s Owings Mills address and on the vehicle, resulting in the seizure of felony amounts of suspected MDMA, fentanyl, and a loaded handgun.  Gordon is prohibited from possessing firearms based on prior felony convictions.  Gordon was charged initially with gun and drug violations. 

Further investigation led by criminal investigators from the Maryland State Police uncovered evidence linking Gordon to the highway shooting on August 12 in Howard County.  After consultation with the Howard County State’s Attorney’s Office, Gordon was charged yesterday with attempted murder and related offenses.  Gordon is currently being held without bond at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
