DENTON – Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a person or persons involved in a shooting at about 3:40 p.m. in Greensboro. No injuries were reported.

Deputies with the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office and the Greensboro Police Department responded to the parking lot of Save A Lot grocery store, 13263 Greensboro Road.

The Sheriff’s Office also was assisted by the Maryland State Police and the Caroline County Department of Emergency Services.

Investigators reviewed various surveillance videos and saw some type of incident occurring around a passenger vehicle in the corner of the parking lot.

“This incident resulted in one person fleeing the scene while another individual gave chase, firing rounds from a handgun,” a Feb. 13 press release from the Sheriff’s Office stated.

“After the gunfire, the unknown suspect fled in a dark-colored passenger car heading north on Greensboro Road, while another individual walked away towards Whiteleysburg Road,” the release stated. “The subject that was being fired at was picked up a short distance from the incident location prior to law enforcement arriving.”

The Office posted a notice on its Facebook page about 5:15 p.m. stating that the two departments were on the scene. “This is an ongoing and active investigation. However, this is believed to be an isolated incident,” according to the post.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information or who can identify the individual in the photograph is urged to contact the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division at 410-479-2515. Tips can be submitted anonymously.
