Md Covid Cases Skyrocketing

 New Covid cases are skyrocketing in Maryland and Anne Arundel. Maryland is seeing a staggering 100% 

increase in new cases compared to just 2 weeks ago.

The first 2 waves, in May and August, are beginning to appear more like ripples compared to the huge wave now forming. 

Most experts feel this surge could potentially be catastrophic as Maryland enters the cold and flu season as well as the the holiday season. When you add in Covid fatigue and  economic concerns, the US has the recipe for exceeding capacity of all health care.

Shooting Suspect Sought

Fugitive apprehension detectives are searching for a Crownsville man who police say was responsible for a targeted double shooting in Edgewater on Saturday, which left a 53-year-old man dead and another man in the hospital with gunshot injuries, Anne Arundel County police said.

Ronal Alcidis Maldonado Quijada, of Middletown Road in Annapolis, was identified by police Monday as the man killed in the shooting. Police have not released the identity of the 28-year-old man injured in the shooting.

Detectives worked quickly, as police said they’d obtained an arrest warrant for Wilber Oswaldo Nunez-Menendez by Sunday morning. They said evidence and witness interviews pointed to the 25-year-old, who’s now wanted on murder, attempted murder, assault and related firearms charges. 

Patrol officers and homicide detectives rushed to the 20th block of Brick Church Road around 7 p.m. Saturday after somebody called 911 to report a shooting. The rural road is flanked by foliage on both sides near its intersection with Solomon’s Island Road.

At the scene, police said they found Quijada suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Paramedics pronounced him dead.

Quijada’s body was taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of his death.

As detectives canvassed the area, fire department personnel rushed the 28-year-old to a local trauma center with non-life-threatening injures. Police have not said which hospital the man was taken to.

Police said witnesses reported seeing the shooter flee in a gray vehicle before officers arrived. But officers issued a warning to law enforcement in the area to be on the lookout for the vehicle.

Detectives found the vehicle when they served a related search warrant, the location and parameters of which are unclear at this time.

Double Shooting On Brick Church Rd.

     Just before 730pm on Saturday, November 14, 2020, officers responded to Brick Church Road for a shooting. On arrival, they discovered one deceased male and another with life threatening injuries. The injured victim was airlifted to the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore by Maryland State Police helicopter.

Boy Scout's Fundraising Events

Boy Scout Troop 454 (based in Davidsonville and meets at the Davidsonville Family Rec Center) has a couple of fundraisers going on right now.  This year, we had to cancel our biggest annual fundraiser, which generates about $4,000 for the troop, to pay for equipment, training for scouts and adult leaders, rank advancement and merit badges, and overall administration.  We're looking for help to avoid any shortfalls. Among the other benefits provided through scouting, the Troop performs over 700 hours of community service every year.
