Bystander Shot Near Arundel Mills Prompts 4 Arrests, Drug Bust: Police

HANOVER, MD — Police said four Anne Arundel County residents, including one minor, were arrested after a bystander was shot near Arundel Mills mall.

Officers said the victim, a 21-year-old woman, was shot in the upper body and hospitalized. She is expected to survive.

Authorities said they were called to Arundel Mills Boulevard and Arundel Way in Hanover on June 20 around 8 p.m. for a report of a shooting.

Police said they found several vehicles that had been struck by gunfire.

Officers think gunshots were exchanged between two vehicles, catching the uninvolved victim in the crossfire.

Authorities said the involved vehicles drove away before police arrived.

Police, however, said their Real Time Information Center personnel immediately began a review of surveillance footage in the area and provided patrol officers with a description of the suspect vehicle.

Officers said they determined that the vehicle may be in the Meade Village community in Severn.

Patrol officers said they found the unoccupied suspect vehicle and saw items of evidentiary value, so they secured the vehicle for processing.

Authorities said they executed a search warrant on the vehicle and seized evidence related to the shooting in Hanover.

Police said they connected the vehicle to a suspect, identified two additional suspects and developed four addresses. Three of those addresses were in Meade Village, and one was in Baltimore.

Authorities said they executed search warrants on all four homes on July 18.

Police said they seized:

• Several firearms
• Extended magazines
• Electronic devices
• More than $5,600 in cash
• 5,828 grams of suspected cannabis
• Approximately 31 grams of suspected PCP

Officers said one of the Meade Village searches led to various drug charges and a gun offense against a fourth suspect: Davon Antoine Hughes, 27, of Glen Burnie.

Authorities on Tuesday identified the other suspects arrested as:

• A boy, 15, of Severn
• Jermaine Anthony Ricks, 39, of Severn
