Two men from Edgewood named Charles Pugh were killed in separate shootings four years apart. The more recent incident occurred the evening of August 19, 2021, on Crimson Tree Way. Deputies arriving about 10:10 p.m. found 29-year-old Charles Robert Pugh Jr. with multiple gunshot wounds. He was treated at the scene, airlifted to a hospital, and later pronounced dead. Two other people were wounded and survived. Detectives from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation, but the case went cold and no suspects have been publicly identified.

On August 31, 2017, 48-year-old Charles Pugh was shot after a verbal dispute in the 600 block of Harrpark Court. After being shot his vehicle rolled backward into another car; he was flown to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center and later died. That investigation led to the arrest of 51-year-old Derek Holder on charges including first and second-degree murder and assault.

If anyone knew either man or has information about the unsolved 2021 shooting, please come forward.
