Germantown Man Sentenced to 25 Years for Attempted Murder in Gaithersburg Shooting, Per State’s Attorney

According to the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office, “In the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, MD, the Honorable Christopher Fogleman has sentenced defendant, Marvin Frazier, 24, of Germantown to 40 years in prison suspend all but 25 to serve and five years of supervised probation upon release. Frazier was convicted by a jury in April of 2023 on charges including attempted first-degree murder, two counts each of first-degree assault and use of a handgun in a crime of violence, and illegal possession of a handgun. The sentencing hearing took place on Thursday, November 2^nd, 2023.

This stems from an incident at a music studio along Montgomery Village Avenue in Gaithersburg on August 8^th, 2020. Frazier shot a 19-year-old male, causing him to become paralyzed from the waist down. He also pistol-whipped a 20-year-old male. The defendant and victims are associated with rival gangs. The defendant fled but was apprehended in 2022.

At the time of the shooting, Frazier was on probation for unrelated gun charges. He has a hearing scheduled in that matter on February 2, 2024, and faces up to an addition 18 years in prison. Assistant State’s Attorney Teresa Casafranca prosecuted this case.”
