Gary Dashawn Davenport has come full circle.
Less than three months after the 29-year-old Davenport was the victim in a near-fatal shooting along Edgewater Drive in Edgewood, police say he wounded one man and killed another with gunfire Saturday morning.
Davenport, a resident of Fountain Rock Way in Edgewood, is being sought on first-degree murder and attempted murder charges for allegedly shooting and killing 18-year-old Taurean Williams and wounding 20-year-old Timothy Williams just before 3 a.m. Saturday in the 1600 block of Candlewood Drive. Taurean was declared dead at the scene; Timothy was taken to University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore with wounds that weren?t expected to be life-threatening.
“Violence is nothing new to this individual we have a warrant out for,” said Sheriff L. Jesse Bane. “Sooner or later he was going to be a victim of an act of violence or a suspect in an act of violence.”
Investigators were looking into whether the Williams brothers were connected in any way to Waymond Lee Harrison Jr., the 26-year-old Baltimore County resident wanted on charges of shooting Davenport in the head on March 27, said Sgt. Dave Betz, Sheriff?s office spokesman.
While police have not yet identified any links between the shootings, the matter was still being investigated, Betz said. Police can?t say for certain if the shootings were gang- or drug-related, but officials have asserted that neither case was a random act of violence.
Taurean Williams was Harford County?s second homicide for 2008, and the first to be handled by the Sheriff?s Office. Maryland State Police made two arrests in the April 1 killing of Havre de Grace resident Alan Zurita, who was allegedly shot and left to die alongside Interstate 95 after a botched robbery attempt.
