MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. — A person has been arrested in connection to the killing of 87-year-old
Robert "Bob" Fuller Jr. inside his senior living apartment two weeks ago, police said.
The arrest is connected to a person who shot at a state trooper during a traffic stop in Baltimore on Tuesday, Montgomery County Police said, but they did not yet explain further. They will share more at a press conference at 3 p.m. Wednesday. The person arrested has not yet been identified.
Investigators have been searching for suspects in Fuller's death for more than a week, and had
released a photograph and surveillance video of an unidentified person they were looking for last week. Only the back of the person could be seen in the images. They had long hair down their back, wore a flannel shirt and black pants. Police said they could not narrow down the person's gender or race based on the images.
Early Tuesday morning, a state trooper pulled over a person driving what police believe to be a gray Infiniti with partial license plates, darkly tinted windows, front end damage and broken headlights. Just before 3:30 a.m., as the trooper walked toward the driver side door, it opened and several shots were fired from inside out toward the trooper. The trooper was injured and did not shoot back at the car, which sped off. He was brought to a nearby hospital to treat powdered burns from being close to the shots, but no bullets struck him.
