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.
