Through dashcam footage and other investigative techniques, Howard was identified as the suspected shooter. Investigators allege that Howard fired at another individual during a road rage encounter, but instead struck a third party’s vehicle. The Highway Gun Crimes Initiative unit is leading the ongoing investigation.

The Maryland State Police continue efforts to curb highway gun violence and are requesting public assistance in other active investigations.
