1 Dead At Dukes Motel After Officer-Involved Shooting: Police

ROSEDALE, MD — Police said that a man died in an exchange of gunfire Saturday while officers were trying to serve a warrant at his motel room in Rosedale. Officials said that he was accused of shooting and injuring his ex-girlfriend earlier in the day in Windsor Mill.

Kareem Omar Morgan, 43, was identified as the man killed in the room where he had been staying at Duke's Motel as officers tried to serve the warrant from the Windsor Mill shooting. Police released his name Monday, July 8, after notifying his relatives.

Police said SWAT officers were sent to the motel in the 7900 block of Pulaski Highway to serve the warrants. When they began to break into the room, police said there was an exchange of gunfire.

Morgan was shot once in the encounter, and he was the only person in the room, officials said.

Medics staging nearby during the warrant service tried to provide first aid, but he was pronounced deceased at the scene, police reported.

Police said the warrants were being served in connection with a nonfatal shooting in Windsor Mill earlier in the day. A woman called 911 and was taken to an area hospital after 5 a.m. Saturday, July 6, according to officials. Her ex-boyfriend had allegedly forced his way into a townhouse in the 1700 block of Winding Brook Way in Windsor Mill and fought her physically before shooting her in the lower body. Police said the woman called 911, and she was taken to an area hospital, where she is expected to survive.

Throughout Baltimore County, patrol officers were on the lookout for a vehicle linked to the suspect after she was shot. An officer from the White Marsh precinct saw the vehicle parked at the motel, and that led to the warrants and ultimately the officer-involved shooting.

The officer who fired the shot will be placed on routine administrative leave during the investigation.
