- Rockville police identified the suspect as Kahlil White‑Villatoro, who is charged as an adult with attempted second‑degree murder, multiple assault counts and firearms offenses.
- A judge on Wednesday ordered White‑Villatoro held without bond, with a preliminary hearing set for Feb. 20 as the defense signals plans to seek transfer to juvenile court.
