Gas Station Shooting In Parkville: Police Say Two Charged

PARKVILLE, MD — Two Baltimore County men are being held without bail in connection with a shooting that happened over the weekend at a gas station in Parkville. Police said that a detective recognized one of the suspects from surveillance footage.

The 23-year-old victim was driving out of the Exxon in the 7300 block of McClean Boulevard Sunday night when police said he was shot. Two pedestrians had come up to him and fired shots into his vehicle, according to officials.

Police said the victim was hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the upper body, an injury that he is expected to survive.

Anthony Rogers Ferguson, 20, of the unit block of Handworth Way, and Demiquo Deontae Wilson, 20, of the 5900 block of Lillyan Avenue, were arrested on Monday.

The detective watching surveillance video from the Exxon recognized Ferguson from previous encounters, according to authorities, who credited the investigator with the quick arrests.

Ferguson and Wilson were charged with attempted first-degree murder and first and second-degree assault and were both being held without bail. Wilson was also charged with using a firearm in a violent crime and possession of a firearm by a minor (under age 21).

Court records show Ferguson was indicted Monday on drug possession and distribution charges stemming from an April 12 arrest.
