In a shocking turn of events, Malik Jones, a 32-year-old suspect, was taken into custody on March 1, 2007, in connection with a string of violent crimes in Maryland.

According to the FBI, Jones was charged with multiple counts of assault, robbery, and attempted murder. The crimes, which dated back to 2005, left several victims injured and one dead.
