In the quiet community of Edgewater, Maryland, a violent encounter on the evening of November 14, 2020, tragically ended the life of 52-year-old Ronal Alcidis Maldonado Quijada. The incident, a double shooting, unfolded on Brick Church Road, leaving another man injured and a community in shock.
Anne Arundel County Police responded to the scene to find Mr. Maldonado Quijada, a resident of Annapolis, suffering from gunshot wounds.
Despite the efforts of first responders, he was pronounced deceased at the scene. The second victim, a 28-year-old man, was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The investigation into the shooting quickly pointed to a suspect. Through witness interviews and evidence gathered at the scene, detectives identified a 25-year-old male from Crownsville as the alleged shooter. By the following day, November 15, 2020, an arrest warrant had been secured, charging the then-at-large suspect with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and multiple assault and firearm-related offenses.
Authorities announced that the suspect had fled the scene in a gray vehicle, which was later recovered by law enforcement.
