Charles sheriff's office investigates shooting in Waldorf

Detectives are investigating a March 11 shooting on Leonardtown Road in Waldorf.

Around 2:28 p.m., an 18-year-old was walking in the area of Ryon Court when he observed several males wearing ski masks approaching him, according to a release from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office.

The teenager fled into the lobby of a nearby office building located in the 3600 block of Leonardtown Road and removed an expensive jacket he was wearing.

The suspects entered the lobby, stole the jacket and fled the building, according to the sheriff’s office.

The victim then followed the suspects into a parking lot when the suspects fired a shot from a handgun, striking the teenager in the leg.

The suspects fled on foot and possibly entered a dark sedan before driving away. The man was transported to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, according to the release.

Detectives are pursuing leads and ask anyone with information to contact Detective Weaver at 301-609-6571.
