The officers were identified as Detectives G. Depew, 16-year veteran, R. Johnson, 33-year veteran, B. Lange, 15-year veteran and J. Trenary, 15-year veteran, WBAL reports.
Officers opened gunfire after a suspect rammed into a police cruiser with their own vehicle, Baltimore County Police said. This happened in the area of Avon Avenue and Maryland Avenue around 1 p.m. on Thursday, April 14, the department said on Twitter.
The officers were apparently trying to arrest two suspects wanted in connection with the death of 45-year-old Rosario “Tony” Valenti, WMAR reports. Valenti was stabbed outside Papa’s Smokehouse on North Point Road in February 2021.
The driver of this vehicle, later identified by family as 19-year-old Shane Radomski, was said to have been shot multiple times. Radomski was not even a suspect in the case, WBFF reports.
“He wasn’t trying to run anybody over. He was just getting away from the scene,” Shane's cousin Jacob Rose told the outlet. “I know Shane would never ever try to run somebody over or harm somebody. That’s just not who he is,”
Randomski was taken to Bayview Trauma for further treatment where he is said to be in critical condition, the outlet reports.
The other suspect from the shooting was taken into police custody, police said. All officers have been placed on administrative leave pending the investigation.
