Naimaster described the investigation as very preliminary. 

Police from the Parkville precinct received a similar 911 call 15 minutes later in the 9400 block of Orbitan Court. 

A man was driving to his relatives’ house when a dark, possibly blue, older model SUV pulled alongside his car, according to Ofc. Mark Dorsey, of the Parkville precinct. 

The victim and his passenger noted that the suspect was continually shouting profanities all the while pulling up alongside them. 

That’s when the suspect pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the two victims. The victim driver pulled his car forward in front of the suspect’s SUV and no direct confrontation was made. 

Dorsey described the suspect as a white man, possibly in his 30s, with tattoos covering his forearms, driving a dark, possibly blue, older model SUV.
