The Montgomery County Police Department said the shooting at the center of the case took place Nov. 27, around 4:45 a.m., at the 20500 block of Staffordshire Drive.

At the scene, officers found that four homes were impacted as bullets were traced to multiple bedrooms, including one where a child was sleeping in during the shooting.
