On Saturday, March 4, the Independent Investigations Division (IID) of the AG's Office was advised that the man shot by 16-year veteran Det. J. Trenaryhas died amid the ongoing investigation into the officer-involved shooting.

The incident played out at approximately 6:10 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 31 in the 10700 block of Pulaski Highway in White Marsh, where detectives from the department’s Criminal Apprehension Support Team were surveilling two people in an SUV, one of whom had multiple warrants out for his arrest.

Detectives attempted to perform a “vehicle block” to pin the SUV and apprehend the driver, but when they exited their vehicles and approached, the driver maneuvered out of the block, striking an unmarked police vehicle before things got violent.

According to the IID, Trenary fired his service weapon, striking the driver, whose SUV continued traveling through a parking lot before coming to a crashing rest after striking another vehicle.

The SUV driver - whose name has not been released - was struck in the upper body and suffered life-threatening injuries. He was rushed to an area hospital, where he remains in critical condition.

No other injuries were reported.

The IID said that Trenary is a 16-year veteran of the Baltimore County Police Department. The detectives assigned to the Criminal Apprehension Support Team were not equipped with body-worn cameras, and the involved police vehicles were not equipped with dashboard cameras.
