Gary Printice Melvin, 30, was found after 5 a.m. on August 16, 2020, in a parking lot in the 11000 block of Reisterstown Road in Owings Mills, Maryland, suffering from gunshot wounds to his chest. He was taken to a local hospital but died of his injuries. Investigators concluded the shooting was not random and that Melvin had been specifically targeted.
The investigation led to two teenage suspects. In September 2020, Marvin Louis Washington III, then 18, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery, first-degree assault, robbery, theft, and multiple firearm offenses. In October 2020, 17-year-old Xavier Damon Byrd Jr., who was 16 at the time of the shooting, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery, use of a firearm in a felony, and first-degree assault. Both were held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
Are there details about Melvin’s final hours or the location that anyone in the area can help clarify?
