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.

Through the course of the investigation, detectives identified Jose Ramon Ventura as the driver of a black Honda Civic that two suspects entered after the shooting, officials said.

On Friday, June 21, the agency announced that Ventura, 24, who has no known address, was arrested on Thursday and charged with accessory after the fact for driving and transporting two individuals believed to be responsible for the shooting.

He's being held without bond at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit.
