In a significant development, the Calvert County Sheriff's Office has announced the arrest of 17-year-old Andre Xavier Howe of Huntingtown for his alleged involvement in a recent shooting in Prince Frederick, Maryland. This arrest is linked to an incident that occurred on July 14, where law enforcement was called to the 1600 block of Mint Court following reports of gunfire.
Upon their arrival, deputies found two individuals suffering from gunshot wounds. The victims were promptly transported to local trauma centers for emergency medical treatment. Their current conditions have not been disclosed.
Following the incident, detectives initiated an extensive investigation, which included collecting physical evidence and conducting witness interviews. Their efforts led to the identification of Howe as a suspect. Consequently, authorities issued an arrest warrant, and Howe was detained without incident earlier today.
Sheriff Ricky Cox emphasized the commitment of his office to addressing community violence. "We are committed to thoroughly investigating any acts of violence in our community and bringing those responsible to justice," he stated. "The arrest of Andre Howe is a testament to our detectives' hard work and dedication. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure the safety of our residents."
Howe is now being held at the Calvert County Detention Center, facing several serious charges. As a minor, he is being charged as an adult with multiple counts, including two counts of attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, first and second-degree assault, and firearms offenses, including possession of a firearm under the age of 21 and possession of a stolen firearm.
The ongoing investigation suggests potential for further developments. The Sheriff's Office has urged anyone with more information about the shooting to come forward. They have provided contact details for Detective W. Freeland and Detective M. Mudd for this purpose. Additionally, community members can submit tips anonymously via the Sheriff's Office mobile app or the dedicated email.
