ORIGINAL RELEASE
Howard County police are offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information on the whereabouts of Demitri Duhart, the suspect wanted for attempted first-degree murder in the June 2 non-fatal shooting in Jessup.
At approximately 12:42 p.m., police responded to the Cedar Motel in the 8000 block of Washington Boulevard for a report of a male victim who had been shot.
