Police investigating Takoma Park shooting, suspects remain at-large

Montgomery County detectives are now investigating the fatal shooting that occurred in Takoma Park on Christmas Eve. An 18-year-old man was found dead outside of a residence in the 1000 block of Quebec Terrace around 6:30 PM that evening by police, who were responding to a report of an assault and shots fired. As I reported shortly after the incident, scanner reports indicated the victim was shot in the head, and that two suspects fled on foot.

Those suspects remain at large as of this morning. Police say the perimeter they established, and a search by a K-9 unit, were unsuccessful in capturing the suspects following the shooting.

Anyone with information regarding this death is asked to contact the Major Crimes Division at 240.773.5070. Tipsters who wish to remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward of up to $10,000 may call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).
