Bullet From Severn Shooting Damages Nearby Home: Police Report

SEVERN, MD — A Wednesday night shooting in Severn damaged a nearby home, police believe. The shooting happened around 8:30 p.m. in the 1300 block of Jamestown Drive.

The damaged house is in the 1200 block of Chestnut Street. As a bird flies, that's about a quarter mile away from the crime scene. Chestnut Street does not directly connect to Jamestown Drive.

The owner of the damaged home called police just before 8 the next morning, reporting a small hole in one of her windows. She noticed the puncture around 6:45 a.m.

The woman said she heard a loud pop around 8 p.m. Wednesday, which was around the time the victim was shot. Police did not find a bullet inside the Chestnut Street residence.

The night prior, police found the male victim on laying on the floor of the Jamestown Drive home. He was suffering from wounds to his upper body. The suspect shot the man after they got into a fight outside. The suspect fled the scene.

Anne Arundel County police gave the victim first aid until medics took him to an unnamed hospital. He is expected to live.

After a preliminary investigation, police identified 32-year-old Edgewater man Deontray Poole as the suspect. Police got an arrest warrant for Poole, who is still at-large. They ask anybody who knows his whereabouts to call 911 or (410) 222-8610.
