Anne Arundel County homicide detectives are doubling back to the public, renewing their plea for help in a January Odenton shooting that left a Baltimore man dead and a lot of unanswered questions still hanging over Annapolis Road.
On Jan. 10, officers were called to a commercial parking area in the 1600 block of Annapolis Road, where they found a man down near his car. He was rushed to a hospital and later pronounced dead. Investigators say the shooting may have followed a motor vehicle collision, and they believe patrons and employees at nearby businesses that night could be holding key pieces of the puzzle.
According to CBS Baltimore, officers responded around 12:30 a.m. after reports of gunfire and found an adult man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Firefighters treated him at the scene before he was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police later identified the victim as 45-year-old Timothy Leslie Randolph of Baltimore, The Baltimore Sun reported. WBAL noted that homicide detectives have taken over the case and that the investigation remains active.
What investigators say
Detectives say early evidence shows Randolph was standing near his white Cadillac XT5 when he was shot, and that the gunfire may have been tied to a vehicle collision, according to FOX45. They report having chased down leads and collected evidence from the scene, but say they still need the public to fill in the gaps.
Investigators added that reward money is on the table for anyone whose information leads to a conviction in the case.

County context
Randolph's killing on Jan. 10 was logged as Anne Arundel County's first homicide of 2026.

Officials say the technology helps narrow down leads, but that old-fashioned eyewitness accounts still provide the crucial breaks detectives are looking for.
