Glen Burnie resident Scott David Guhse, 51, has been identified by investigators as the driver who was killed overnight after allegedly driving recklessly and nearly running the motorcyclist off the road. 

According to the Anne Arundel County Police Department, officers were called at around 8:20 p.m. on Nov. 7 to the area of East Furnace Branch Road and Margate Drive in Glen Burnie to investigate a reported shooting with one person down and a second injured following an altercation that turned deadly.

Investigators say that the 22-year-old was on his motorcycle on Route 10 near Furnace Branch Road when he noticed another vehicle tailgating him and driving erratically, before pulling up to the side of the bike and shouting at him.

The other vehicle then nearly collided with the motorcycle, police say, causing him to pull off the roadway.

Both vehicles then came to stop on East Furnace Branch Road, where Guhse charged at the motorcyclist, who withdrew a handgun and shot the driver.

Guhse was pronounced dead at the scene by fire personnel. Investigators made note that Guhse possesses a concealed handgun carry permit through Maryland.

The assault and homicide remain under investigation.
