Blue Acura In Perry Hall Sparked Alarm: Report

PERRY HALL, MD — A traffic stop that went awry in Baltimore City ended up in Perry Hall over the weekend. It was reportedly related to the investigation into the shooting of Sgt. Isaac Carrington.

Carrington was off-duty and talking with a neighbor in northeast Baltimore when a masked man held them up at gunpoint, then chased and shot Carrington multiple times, officials reported. The shooting in the 5600 block of Summerfield Avenue occurred before 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 8.

Investigators said they believed the masked man was dropped off and driven away in an Acura.

Days later, the search for suspects continues, and it has resulted in the pursuit of two blue Acuras, including one in Perry Hall.

Officials at the Parkville precinct said a pursuit began in Baltimore City and ended in the Seven Courts area on Saturday, Aug. 10, according to Councilman David Marks.

The incident started on Belair Road in northeast Baltimore, and during the pursuit, someone in the car threw a gun out the window near Route 1 at Overlea Avenue, WJZ reported. The news station said the chase ended when the Acura stopped on Plantagenet Circle at Seven Courts Drive in Perry Hall.

Despite the pursuit that ended in Perry Hall on Saturday and another that concluded in Lansdowne on Friday, police have not located the suspects in the violent robbery.

"The investigation into the shooting of Sgt. Carrington continues as detectives work to positively identify suspects," Detective Nicole Monroe told Baltimore Patch Sunday, Aug. 11.

Carrington has undergone surgery at the hospital and was placed on life support.

On Sunday, Carrington and Police Commissioner Michael Harrison released a YouTube video in which the police sergeant assured people: "I'll be back."

In the meantime, the commissioner said his agency was working to find the perpetrator.

"Now we all have to rally around getting him healed and making sure we find who did this to hold them accountable," Harrison said.

Detectives are chasing down leads in the case, trying to figure out who shot their longtime officer.

Police arrested two people in Lansdowne Friday, Aug. 9, after the blue Acura they were in did not pull over in an attempted traffic stop in south Baltimore. It ultimately stopped on Annapolis Road at Park Drive in the Baltimore Highlands area of Baltimore County. Officials later determined the two people and the car were not connected to the shooting of Carrington, WBAL reported.

The Special Investigation Response Team and homicide unit are working on the case. There is a $19,000 reward for information.
