Annapolis Teen Dies From Gunshot To Head, Victim Identified

ANNAPOLIS MD — An Annapolis teenager has died from a gunshot wound to the head Saturday, police said Sunday. A $2,000 reward is being offered to find the shooter, authorities say. The victim, Terry Bosley, 17, was walking with a group of people on President Street shortly before 5 p.m. Saturday when he was fatally shot.

Detectives believe that Bosley was killed by someone he knew, said Annapolis Police in a news release.

Annapolis Police said in a release Bosley was in an area between Van Buren Street and Monroe Street. Officers found the victim suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Investigators believe the victim was on foot when someone in the group shot him, and then the suspect and the rest of the group fled in a small blue vehicle.

"We believe the victim knew the suspect and that there is no threat to the public at this time," police said in their statement.

“This is an outrageous act of violence to a juvenile in our community,” said Annapolis Police Chief Scott Baker in a statement. “We just met with the Eastport community on November 14th and have another meeting scheduled for January 16th. We urge community members to come to that meeting and work together on these serious issues of crime and safety.”

Bosley died at an area hospital for treatment.
