A verbal dispute ended in gunfire for 44-year-old Taron Shawnta Trice on the night of August 5, 2022. Trice, a Silver Spring resident, was found in the parking lot of the Stone Ridge Apartments and Townhomes in Hagerstown suffering multiple gunshot wounds. He did not live at that complex.

Authorities identified a 16-year-old from Hagerstown, Ty Shan Jerome Dotson, as the person who located Trice at the complex after the earlier altercation. An arrest warrant charged Dotson as an adult with first and second-degree murder, first and second-degree assault, and handgun violations. Dotson turned himself in on August 9, 2022, and was taken into custody at the Washington County Detention Center.

If anyone saw Trice or the interaction at the Stone Ridge Apartments on August 5, or has information about the events that night, please share what is known.
