(New Windsor, MD) – Maryland State Police are investigating a home invasion that left one man critically injured early this morning.
Police are not identifying the two victims involved in the home invasion at this time. One of the victims is being treated at R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma. The other victim refused medical treatment.
The three suspects are described as African American males. No further description is available at this time.
The preliminary investigation indicates that shortly before 4:30 a.m. today, three suspects entered a single-family home in the 2600-block of Liberty Road in New Windsor, Maryland. It is unclear at this time how the suspects gained entry into the residence. Police believe the two victims were the only people in the home at the time.
Once the suspects entered the residence, the two victims, who are believed to be the tenants, were ordered into a first floor area of the home. Troopers were told that one of the suspects assaulted one of the victims with a firearm. Police believe there may have been an altercation that ensued, providing the second victim an opportunity to escape to the neighboring house to call 9-1-1. Westminster Barrack received the phone call and immediately dispatched troopers to the scene. An additional 9-1-1 call was received by the victim who had remained inside the invaded home after the suspects reportedly fled the scene.
When State Police arrived, one victim was found with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to head. He was transported by the Winfield Fire Department to Shock Trauma. The other victim was found at the neighboring house. He refused medical treatment.
State Police secured the home and the surrounding areas. Crime scene technicians from the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division responded and processed the scene. Members of the Westminster Barracks Criminal Investigation Section responded to lead the investigation. Carroll County Sheriff’s Office also responded for assistance.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact the Maryland State Police at 410-386-3000. Callers may remain anonymous. The investigation is continuing.
