OCPD INVESTIGATING EARLY MORNING SHOOTING
Ocean City, Maryland: (June 19, 2020) – The Ocean City Police Department is currently investigating an overnight shooting that occurred in the area of 6th Street and Washington Lane.
On June 19, 2020, at approximately 03:58 a.m. Ocean City police responded to the area of 6th Street and Washington Lane after officers heard gunshots and observed a male running north on Washington Lane. Officers located a juvenile male victim of Salisbury, MD, who suffered two gunshot wounds; one to his buttocks and one to his arm. The victim was treated by Ocean City EMS and transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center where he was released shortly after.
During the investigation, detectives determined a confrontation ensued inside a nearby hotel between two groups. A short time later, both groups had a second confrontation at the 10-block of 6th street. The suspect, who has been identified as Colin K. Heckman, 21, Milton, DE, fired multiple gun shots, two of which struck the victim. The victim fled from the scene and was located by officers on 7th street. Heckman was located at the scene of the incident.
Heckman has been charged with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, and discharging a firearm within city limits. Heckman is currently in custody at the Ocean City Police Department waiting to be seen by a District Court Commissioner.
The Ocean City Police Department Criminal Investigation Division Major Crimes Unit continues to investigate the incident. Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact Detective Perry at 410-723-6604.

This is an actual question: If you discharge a firearm intentionally at a person, how is that not attempted murder?
Where is attempted murder charge
Um, wtf is he not charged w attempted Murder?
Thank you OCPD for you continued dedication and quick work in this apprehension.
I'm so glad that they are STILL investigating this shooting.
It makes me feel ssooooo safe!
Ocean City is dead to me...
Ahhhhhh, Baltimoe and Chicaga comes to the Beach
Odd not to see an attempted murder charge... Something is off here, are they under charging due to race? If that is the case then our downfall is guaranteed, we might as well hang it up. Affirmative action for criminal charges... it’s utterly laughable
The defendant is a white guy. No attempted murder because first off we don't know the details but the sentences would be max 30 for attempted murder and 25 for 1st degree assault.
OC has really ramped up the summer entertainment. Seems like they moved the Frontier Land shows to the Boardwalk and enhanced them by using real bullets. Another great idea to generate dollars at the expense of public health and welfare!
it may have been self defense that the fire arm was brought out, that why murder has not been charged... duh.
wait for the facts people. dont be like the liberal loonies deciding charges before the investigation even STARTS.
Let it play out so the perp doesn't slip thru the system. Our LEOs and first responders are awesome!
City Fail...uh...no.
Um when do these people sleep? Yeesh.
Likely case will go before Grand Jury, with additional charges after review by State's attorney.
I think the question is the race of the victim and one shorting if that needs to be done as well, and if this is a hate crime and why are we not charging these "thugs" with the hate crime charges?
How do we no cops aren’t lying ? DOJ and FBi haven’t started the REFORM yet... FYI he will be on no bond attempted murder charges and weapon in use of a felony will come next week. He will have 15 charges when case is completed. But again it could all be a lie. Right ?
And CAMBRIDGE.
Signed the chiefs MOM.
1St degree Assault ? WTF chief please explain ?
Attempted murder as I understand it is pre-planned. It is where you planned to kill someone. It is not when you decide at the last minute. Sounds crazy - right?
Umm yeah not shocked he’s white with with those fluffy “isle of wight” charges
Mugshot looks like a white junky that got shorted on his drugs 😂😂 . Lock his ass up & throw away the key. That coon doesn’t deserve to be walking these streets anyway !
Like having a fight and returning again, right?
And I am sure he has a valid Maryland Wear and Carry Permit fo that firearm. Where are the gun charges?
I will never, ever pull my gun out with the intent to shoot you in the arm or leg.
Oh c'mon man
If I had to guess...probably targeted by a certain group one in the hotel and again on the street and was defending himself hence the assault and not attempted murder charge.
