Police have not yet provided a motive in the case, although officials previously stated road rage could have been a factor.
"From all indications, he is from Baltimore. His last-known address is in East Baltimore," Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough told WBAL, referring to Gray.
"We've been looking for him down there. It's possible that he has taken that Virginia tag off that car and put it on another car, and I think everybody knows how I feel about Virginia tags. I know how people with Virginia tags drive and the way they don't abide by our laws in Maryland."
The 33-year-old wanted man was last known to be driving a 2007 Nissan Altima bearing Virginia tags SXM-4392. Police say the vehicle was also fitted with tinted windows.
Gray is believed to be armed and dangerous, and anyone who spots him is asked to call 911 immediately or contact officials at (410) 887-3700.
Residents can anonymously submit information online or by calling the Metro Crime Stoppers at 1 (866) 756-2587. Any tips that result in an arrest and felony charges may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000.
