The Maryland State’s Attorney’s Office released the following statement regarding the fatal officer involved collision that occurred on December 13, 2023:

“The Independent Investigations Division (IID) of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General is delaying the release of the identities of the deceased passenger and involved officers in the fatal pursuit that occurred on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, in Montgomery County along Georgia Avenue at the intersection of Henderson Avenue.

Typically, the IID releases the names of the decedent(s) and all involved officers within two business days.

In the case of the fatal pursuit that occurred on December 13, investigators are still working to review the evidence they need to make that determination. As a result, the IID is delaying the
name release to allow that work to continue. Once investigators’ initial review and confirmations are complete, the identities of the involved officers will be released online. The identity of the
decedent, who is a juvenile, is being withheld in accordance with juvenile privacy laws while investigators continue to review evidence.”
