Police and paramedics were called at around 9:40 p.m. on Nov. 28, 2023 to the 3600 block of Spruell Drive in Silver Spring following reports of a Toyota that had crashed into a parked vehicle.

Neighbors pulled Orlando Alexander Satz, Jr. from his Corolla after hearing the crash, and Montgomery County Fire and Rescue personnel were providing first aid when they reportedly found him suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, officials said.

His death is now being investigated as a homicide, according to a police spokesperson.
