BALTIMORE, MD (September 6, 2026) – The Independent Investigations Division (IID) of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General is investigating a fatal police-involved collision that occurred on Sunday, September 6, 2026, in Jessup, Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
The preliminary investigation revealed that on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at approximately 2:00 a.m., following an incident in a parking lot, an officer with the Howard County Police Department (HCPD) pursued an Infiniti from the 7100 block of Montevideo Road for approximately one mile. The Infiniti ran off the road and crashed into a retaining wall. One occupant of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene. Two additional occupants were transported to area hospitals and are in stable condition.
The IID, with assistance from the Maryland State Police Crash Team, is investigating the circumstances leading up to the collision. Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact the IID at (410) 576-7070 or by email at [email protected].
The IID will generally release the name of the decedent and any involved officers within two business days of the incident, although that period may be extended, if necessary, pursuant to IID protocol.
The officer was equipped with a body-worn camera. The IID will generally release body-worn camera footage within 20 business days of an incident. There may be situations where more than 20 days is necessary, including if investigators need more time to complete witness interviews, if there are technical delays caused by the need to shield the identities of civilian witnesses, or to allow family members to view the video before it is released to the public.
