Police Searching For Suspect Who Fire Shots, Stabbed Man At The Avenue

BALTIMORE CO., Md. (WJZ) -- The Baltimore County Police Department is searching for the man who fired shots during a fight at The Avenue at White Marsh in September.

Officers were called out just after 1:45 a.m. about shots fired in the 8100 block of Honeygo Blvd.

Someone had called 911 after fights broke out outside the nearby restaurants as they were closing. The caller said someone had fired shots, and at least one person was injured.

"We don't know what this person was shooting at," said Baltimore County Police spokesperson Jennifer Peach. "If he was shooting at a building, to break up some of the confusion that was going on, or if he was actually shooting at a person,"

Responding officers found a 28-year-old man who was stabbed in the lower body. In the confusion, the man thought he was shot, but it was a stab wound.

The victim was taken to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

"We believe that the suspect who did the shooting was a black male suspect, very thin, about 20 to 30-years-old. In most of the video he can be seen wearing a white tank top and grayish-looking skinny jeans," Peach said.

Another person of interest is described as heavyset, wearing a white tank and seen in some of the same video frames as the man believed to be the shooter. He is wanted for questioning, along with another man in a red shirt with writing on it and white pants.

"We think that some of these people might be able to help us identify the shooter. They are not considered suspects in anything," Peach said.

Police say no one was found to be injured by the gunfire.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call police at (410) 307-2020.
