GERMANTOWN, Md. — Police have made three arrests after a shooting broke out and injured three people in Germantown, Maryland on Saturday.
Officers responded to an area on Cinnamon Drive near Gunners Branch Park around 8:08 p.m. Saturday night. There, they found three victims: a 19-year-old woman and two 19-year-old men, all suffering from at least one gunshot wound.
The 19-year-old woman is currently in critical condition, while both men remain stable.
Investigators believe that a cookout was taking place and that all three victims and the suspects were present when the shooting began. Eyewitnesses from the park observed the three men fleeing from the scene -- 20 minutes after the 911 call, officers were dispatched to a nearby wooded area after hearing three men were running through the woods.
Once in the woods, officers found three men who matched the descriptions provided by eye-witnesses, as well as a fanny pack with a handgun and "additional evidence."
The three suspects have been identified as 19-year-old Sequan Markell Ashton, 17-year-old Jaheim Ronnell Hicks and 20-year-old Henry Emanuel Tamba.
Montgomery County Police said that Hicks admitted to firing the gun after being apprehended, and said the shooting resulted after a dispute between both parties.
Hicks is charged with three counts of attempted second-degree murder. Ashton and Tamba are charged with being an accessory after the fact to first-degree assault.
