On March 28, 2026, at approximately 5:00 p.m., officers responded to the Burlington Coat Factory at Arundel Mills Mall after a report of shots fired. The victim, an adult male, told officers he was leaving the store’s vestibule when several suspects approached him and began to assault him. During the altercation, the victim attempted to draw a handgun, and the suspects struggled to take it. The victim discharged the gun during the struggle, striking one of the suspects. The suspects then fled the mall with the victim’s handgun and cell phone. The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the assault.
The Police Department’s Real Time Information Center (RTIC), in coordination with mall personnel, identified the suspects and the suspect vehicle, a black Nissan Altima. Eastern District patrol officers and the Aviation Unit located the vehicle in Glen Burnie, and a pursuit was authorized after the suspects fled onto northbound Interstate 97 into Baltimore County.
The suspect vehicle exited onto Interstate 695 and crashed, with the three occupants fleeing on foot. The Aviation Unit tracked the suspects throughout the foot pursuit and coordinated responding officers, with assistance from the Baltimore City Aviation Unit and Baltimore County Police. All three occupants of the vehicle were taken into custody. During the response, one Anne Arundel County Police Officer was injured in a separate crash and was treated and released at an area hospital.
Two suspects were treated for non-life-threatening injuries related to the crash; the third suspect was treated for the gunshot wound sustained in the initial altercation. Officers recovered the victim's handgun in the Burlington Coat Factory parking lot and his cell phone in the area of Route 100 and Oakwood Road in Glen Burnie. This remains an active investigation.
