Federal officials are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the killing of a woman at an Annapolis hotel on Tuesday, they announced at a news conference.
Leaders from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are offering the reward to anyone who might know anything about the killing of Michelle Cummings, who was fatally shot by stray gunfire while sitting at a patio area outside the Graduate Hotel in Annapolis early Tuesday morning.
Cummings, 57, was in Annapolis from Houston for her son’s Induction Day at the Naval Academy. She was described as an engaged parent who was “all-in” for supporting her son’s athletic dreams. Her son, Midshipman Candidate Leonard Cummings III, attended the Naval Academy Preparatory School and was a football prospect.
With the investigation is still in its early stages, police are beginning to understand the circumstances around the shooting thanks to witness interviews and recovered video footage, Annapolis Police Chief Ed Jackson said. ... Police say multiple shots were fired on Pleasant Street just after midnight Tuesday. The intended targets of the shooting were two people sitting in a parked SUV, both of whom were unharmed. Both have been interviewed by police, Jackson said.
