Overview
- Police say a man was shot twice after an on‑site altercation at a Park Heights Sunoco and surveillance video shows the suspect wrestling with the victim inside the store then following him outside armed.
- Baltimore detectives developed a person of interest from the video, matched him to a Maryland MVA photo, arrested Antoine Burton at an apartment on Loyola Northway, and recovered a loaded handgun plus clothing matching the footage.
- State charging documents initially accused Burton of first‑degree attempted murder and related gun offenses while a federal affidavit filed July 8 alleges he possessed a firearm while prohibited by prior convictions and federal probation.
- A judge ordered Burton held without bond after a bail review that cited his criminal history and perceived danger to the community, and the state's attorney said the case was referred to federal prosecutors to pursue the firearm charge.
- Burton’s record includes a 2002 first‑degree assault conviction and multiple prior Maryland convictions, a fact that increases federal exposure and has raised local concern because he was employed as a Baltimore Safe Streets worker.
