The same Toyota was later used in a commercial robbery in Baltimore County.

Mosby said in a statement:

Heinous acts of brutal and senseless violence, such as that alleged, is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. We will continue to work closely with the Baltimore Police Department to do our part to hold those that inflict these acts accountable.
