Baltimore County police officer Jason Schneider, 36, was killed in the line of duty during a pre-dawn service of a search warrant in Catonsville, Maryland, on August 28, 2013. A 13-year veteran of the department and a former U.S. Marine, he was part of a tactical team executing the warrant related to a recent local shooting. While pursuing a subject toward the rear of the house, Schneider was ambushed by 25-year-old Tevon Smith, who opened fire; Schneider was struck multiple times. Schneider returned fire and fatally wounded Smith but later died at the Maryland Shock Trauma Center after a bullet penetrated a gap under his vest.

Two juveniles who had been in the residence faced weapons charges afterward. One juvenile, described as the original subject of the warrant, was tried in May 2014 and acquitted; the other, the cousin, was sentenced to 18 months in October 2014. Schneider is survived by his wife and two children.

If anyone was in Catonsville that night or has information about the events inside the house, please share what you know.
