Montgomery County Police Investigating Home Invasion

For Immediate Release: Saturday, April 16, 2022

Gaithersburg, MD - Detectives from the Montgomery County Department of Police Major Crimes Division are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying suspects involved in a home invasion where a 57-year-old woman was shot.

On Monday, April 11, 2022, at approximately 12:35 a.m., Montgomery County Police received a call for the sound of gunshots in the area of Stravinsky Terrace, in Fairland. Shortly after, a second call went out for a residential burglary alarm in the 13200 block of Stravinsky Terrace.

When officers arrived on scene, they observed the front door to the Stravinsky Terrace residence open. An adult female was located inside the home suffering from a gunshot wound.

The victim’s injuries prevent her from providing information to Major Crimes detectives and they have been unable to determine whether anything has been stolen from the home. Several bullet holes were discovered in multiple locations of the victim’s home.

Detectives have canvassed the area but are asking the public to come forward if they may have witnessed any suspicious activity in the neighborhood that morning or in the days prior.

The department urges anyone who has information about this crime to call the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5070 or contact Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).  A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for information that leads to the arrest of the suspect(s). Callers can remain anonymous.
