2 Annapolis Men Charged in 17-Year-Old's Shooting

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Two Annapolis men were arrested this week on attempted murder charges for the Nov. 10 shooting of a 17-year-old boy in the Eastport Terrace community.

Annapolis Police officers found the unidentified shooting victim in the 1100 block of Frederick Douglass Street just before 11 p.m. on Nov. 10. He was taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. Police have not released the victim's name.

Omaryan White, 20, of Annapolis was arrested Nov. 17 for the attempted murder of the 17-year-old victim. Additionally, Deondray Jones, 19, of Annapolis was arrested on Nov. 15 and charged with conspiracy to commit attempted murder in the case.

Detectives say help from members of the community led to White being identified as the suspect in the shooting, and Jones was reportedly with White before, during, and after the shooting.

White was charged with attempted first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, use of a firearm in a felony or violent crime, and handgun on person. He is awaiting his initial hearing before the District Court Commissioner.

Jones was charged with similar charges and conspiracy. He is being held at the Jennifer Road Center on $500,000 bond.
