On the evening of March 1, 2021, 35-year-old Robert Randall Turner III was fatally shot in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Officers from the Anne Arundel County Police Department responded just before 8 p.m. to a report of a shooting in the 7500 block of Baleen Court and found Turner lying in a doorway with gunshot wounds. He was transported to a hospital but died from his injuries.

Within a short period after the shooting, police located and arrested 26-year-old Cortez Sherrod Artis of Baltimore. Officers recovered two loaded firearms on Artis, and investigators say evidence from the scene and witness statements linked him to the incident. Authorities described the attack as targeted rather than random. An autopsy was scheduled to determine the official cause and manner of death.
