Overview
- Montgomery County police released surveillance video that shows two suspects chasing a person through a Giant Food and firing near the checkout lanes.
- Police say the victim was hit and taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life‑threatening as shoppers ducked for cover.
- Officers identified the suspects as Marcus Braithwaite, 19, of Germantown, and Demba Tandia, 16, of Montgomery Village, and charged both with attempted first‑degree murder.
- Tandia is charged as an adult and awaits extradition from Sterling, Virginia, while Braithwaite is held in Montgomery County pending a bond hearing, with both expected in court Thursday.
- Investigators say a dropped cellphone helped identify the pair, and a regional paper reported officers seized a rifle muzzle and handwritten notes during Tandia’s arrest.
