Police ID Teens Charged In Armed Robbery In Southwest Baltimore

BALTIMORE, MD — Police said three teens have been charged in connection with an armed robbery that was reported Thursday morning in southwest Baltimore. All are being held without bail, according to court records.

Police said that officers were called to the 800 block of Stamford Road in West Hills, where a 50-year-old man reported he had been robbed at gunpoint at about 5 a.m. on Thursday, according to TJ Smith, chief of media relations for the Baltimore Police Department.

The teens were in a Ford F150 that had been reported stolen in the city on Monday, according to Smith.

When a truck matching the description of the suspect vehicle was found in Howard County, a chase ensued that ended with a crash on the ramp from Route 100 to I-95 and a foot chase after the teens bailed out of the vehicle, according to WBAL. They were taken into custody more than 12 miles from the site of the robbery in southwest Baltimore City.

These three teens were charged Friday in connection with the robbery, according to Detective Chakia Fannoy, spokeswoman for the Baltimore Police Department:

• Shazcarl Henderson, 17, of the 700 block of Benjamin Quarles Place
• Qwante Jackson, 17, of the 2900 block of Spellman Road in Brooklyn
• Andre Simms, 17, of the 1000 block of Shellbanks Road in Cherry Hill

All of the teens have been charged with 10 offenses ranging from armed robbery to theft.

Court records show they face the following charges:

• Armed robbery
• Robbery
• First-degree assault
• Second-degree assault
• Using firearm in a felony crime
• Theft from $100 to $1,500
• Conspiracy to commit armed robbery
• Unlawful taking of a motor vehicle
• Unauthorized removal of property
• Theft from $1,500 to under $25,000

Henderson, Jackson and Simms are slated to appear Aug. 23 in Baltimore City District Court for a preliminary hearing in the case.
