On Monday, March 13, the Harford County Sherif’s Office arrested Joseph Albert Ashley, 30, and charged him with murder and other offenses in connection to the death of Angello Osborne last year.

According to a sheriff’s spokesperson, on April 12, 2022, investigators were called to the 100 block of Reider Court in Edgewood, where they found Osborne suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Osborne was treated at the scene by members of the sheriff’s office and paramedics, though he did not survive the shooting.

Officials say that through the course of the near yearlong investigation, Ashley was identified as one of the suspects, and he was apprehended on Monday morning.

He was charged with:

  • First-degree murder;
  • First-degree assault;
  • Use of a firearm in the commission of a felony or violent crime.

Ashley is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center on unrelated charges for a separate incident. It is believed that there are potentially additional suspects, who are being sought.

The investigation into Osborne’s murder is ongoing.

Anyone with information relevant to the investigation or who has additional information about possible other suspects has been asked to contact Det. Kevin Smith at the Harford County Sheriff’s Office by calling (443) 409-3576.
