In the spring of 2018, a confrontation in Lexington Park, Maryland, ended in the death of 29-year-old Britain Jeremy Gill. On the evening of April 18th, deputies from the St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office were called to a residence on Liberty Street for a reported shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Gill suffering from a shotgun wound to his upper body.
Emergency medical services were rendered at the scene, and Gill was transported to MedStar St. Mary's Hospital.
Despite their efforts, he succumbed to his injuries that same evening. Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division promptly took over the investigation into the fatal shooting.
The investigation revealed that Gill had been involved in a confrontation with another individual, who was identified as the homeowner. During this altercation, the homeowner discharged a shotgun, striking Gill. The case was presented to a St. Mary's County grand jury to determine if criminal charges were warranted.
After reviewing the evidence, the grand jury found that there was not enough probable cause to indict the homeowner for homicide. Following this decision, the St. Mary's County State's Attorney's Office announced that they would not be filing any charges in connection with the shooting death of Britain Jeremy Gill.
