Annapolis Man Dies in Shooting, Victim Identified by Police

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Authorities have released the name of a man who died Monday from gunshot wounds at his home in what the medical examiner has ruled was a homicide. Terry Paul Crouse, 55, from the 1800 block of Kimberwicke Place in Annapolis, was fatally shot Monday afternoon outside his residence.

Anne Arundel County Police officers administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation until fire department personnel took over lifesaving procedures. Crouse died from his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Crouse’s body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy to determine the exact cause and manner of death. On Tuesday, the medical examiner ruled Crouse’s cause of death as “gunshot wound(s) with the manner being homicide.”

The Anne Arundel County Police Recruit Class assisted in the investigation by conducting a large-scale search of the crime scene. Detectives continue to search the area and interview witnesses in an attempt to piece together the events that led to Crouse's shooting.
