On the evening of December 17, 2024, a vehicle carrying ten people was chased, shot at, overturned and set on fire near the Johnson-Fosbrink Funeral Home in the 8500 block of Loch Raven Boulevard in Towson. When officers arrived around 7:15 p.m., multiple gunshot victims were found near the burning car. Twenty-six-year-old Charles Graham Jr., a Baltimore City resident, was found at the scene and pronounced dead. Nine others, ages 14 to 27, were injured; eight with gunshot wounds and one injured in the crash.

Surveillance video from a nearby business captured the pursuit, crash and the attackers opening fire after emerging from another car. Investigators say the attack appears targeted and are examining whether it was retaliation for the December 9 fatal shooting of 19-year-old Andrew Blessing, which occurred nearby. No arrest has been announced specifically for Graham’s death; on December 19, police arrested 20-year-old Jaquan McCain during a traffic stop and found an AK-47 and a stolen vehicle, and he faces multiple weapons charges. The investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone saw the chase, the crash, or has information about who fired on the vehicle that night, please come forward.
