Towson residents on edge with alleged road-rage homicide suspect on the run for two weeks

BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. (WBFF) — Two weeks after a Towson University student was shot and killed near Towson Circle in what investigators believe was a road-rage incident, the suspect remains on the run, leaving some residents increasingly on edge.

“A little bit, I’m a little bit uneasy about it, walking around here,” one resident said.

Another told FOX45, “I’ve checked my shoulders a little more than I normally do, more than I should have, more than anyone should have.”

Baltimore County Police say they identified the suspect within days of the June 5 shooting that claimed the life of 22-year-old Towson University student Nasir Majied. However, despite weeks of investigative work, authorities have not yet made an arrest.

On Thursday, police publicly identified the suspect as 33-year-old Reginald Gray and released a wanted flyer seeking the public’s help in locating him.

Police describe Gray as 6-foot-1, approximately 190 pounds, with a distinctive tattoo on his neck. Investigators say he is believed to be an East Baltimore resident and may be driving a silver 2007 Nissan Altima with tinted windows and Virginia registration plates.

On Friday, some area residents expressed frustration that two weeks have passed without an arrest.

“Two weeks into the investigation and not having an arrest, or at least a great lead, I feel like that’s a little crazy to me,” said one resident.

“I don’t think I should really have to be watching my back every 10 seconds,” another resident said, “I should be able to walk around with my friends and have fun without any worries.”

Police say that Gray should be considered armed and dangerous, and if he’s located, you can call police immediately at 911 or 410-887-3700.
