Baltimore County Police Arrest Suspect in Towson Circle Shooting

Police say the arrest ends the active search, sending the case to prosecutors to determine charges, establish motive, prepare for a court appearance.

Overview

  • Police announced Monday that a suspect has been taken into custody in the June 5 fatal shooting of a Towson University student and that the active manhunt has ended.
  • The victim, 22-year-old Towson student Nasir Majied, was shot near the Towson Circle while traveling north on York Road on June 5.
  • Detectives had identified 33-year-old Reginald Gray Jr. and his vehicle within 48 hours and had publicly called him armed and dangerous while releasing a photo and a description of a 2007 Nissan Altima with Virginia plates.
  • Investigators relied on business and surveillance video and vehicle tracking, offered a $2,000 reward for tips, and say early evidence points to a possible road-rage confrontation between the two drivers.
  • Court records show the person investigators sought has a lengthy violent history including a 2018 guilty plea to attempted second-degree murder and a seven-year sentence, and the suspect is slated to appear before a court commissioner as prosecutors review the case.
