Teen Charged in Red Robin Shooting: Police

WHITE MARSH, MD – A teen has been charged in the weekend shooting outside Red Robin that officials say began with an altercation between an employee and a group of disruptive individuals.

Tayquan Rashawn King, 16, of the unit block of Meteor Court in Parkville, is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center, police reported Wednesday.

King is charged with attempted murder, two counts of first-degree assault, using a firearm to commit a felony and reckless endangerment, court records show.

According to police, the shooting occurred after an employee at Red Robin told a group of disruptive people to leave the establishment, who said they would wait for him outside the restaurant when he got off work.

When a friend came to pick up the employee and they were exiting the restaurant, the employee exchanged words with King, who allegedly fired multiple shots, police said.

The man who had come to Red Robin to give the friend a ride was hit in the lower body once, according to police.

The victim was hospitalized and is expected to survive, according to police, who found him in the 8200 block of Perry Hall Boulevard just after midnight on Sunday while responding to a call for shots fired in the area.

A preliminary hearing in King’s case is set for Feb. 19 in Baltimore County District Court.
