Annapolis police Monday arrested and charged Dametres Short, 18, of Newtowne Drive in Annapolis, with attempted murder. He’s being held without bail at the Annapolis Detention Center on Jennifer Road.

Police still were searching for a second suspect, Rishard Richard Naylor, 18, who allegedly told Brown, “You are the reason my people got shot last night,” in reference to the Odenton homicides.

“They thought Brown was involved, but we don’t have any indication of that,” said Hal Dalton, Annapolis police spokesman.

Brown’s girlfriend had received telephone calls from friends warning her that Brown might be in danger from people who thought he “had something to do with” the double homicide in Odenton, police said.

But no evidence exists that links Brown to the Odenton shootings, Dalton said, and Anne Arundel authorities have charged four suspects in that case — Brown is not one of them.

“We know that [the shootings are] connected based on the motive and some of the names and players in the investigation,” said Anne Arundel Police Capt. Waltemeyer, who declined to elaborate at a news conference Monday in Millersville.

Waltemeyer said a long-standing dispute prompted the Odenton shooting that killed Demarcus Terrell Beans, 20, and Terrance James Covington, 25, both of Annapolis, outside Traffic Bar and Lounge.

Two additional victims, whose names were not released for their safety, survived the attack.

Anne Arundel police charged Russell Kelscoe Harden, 26, of Baltimore; Damon Daryl Dodd, 31, of Baltimore; and James Samuel Watkins, 21, of Brooklyn Park, with first-degree murder in the Odenton shootings.

A fourth suspect, Kecia Liverpool, 31, of the 900 block of First Street in Annapolis, was arrested for allegedly driving the getaway car, police said.

Anyone with information about Naylor’s whereabouts should call police at 410-268-9000.
