Car allegedly used to bring woman with deadly gunshot wound to Montgomery County hospital found
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. - A woman dropped off with gunshot wounds at a local hospital died and now, police are trying to figure out who she is and the identity of the man who left her there.
FOX 5 obtained new surveillance video showing the intense moments at White Oak Medical Center over the weekend.
A man ran into the emergency room around 7:15 a.m. on Sunday, asking for help. Moments later, medical staff ran out and brought in a woman on a gurney who has been shot. She later died but in all the chaos, the man took off without ever giving any more details - who he was, who she was.
The victim only described as an Hispanic woman in her early to mid-twenties.

"She had no identification on her. The only thing we do know right now is she has several tattoos on both of her forearms and on her back and above her right elbow. That's all the info we have to be able to release to the public," Montgomery County Police spokesperson Shiera Goff said.
At this point, the man isn't being considered a suspect, just a person of interest. He was in a newer model white Ford Mustang.
FOX 5 was there as that car was towed from a Target parking lot right across the street from the hospital Monday afternoon.
It's not clear if he abandoned the vehicle right after dropping the woman off but it appears someone saw it and called police.
Right now, detectives are only calling this a death investigation, not a homicide. It's not clear where the woman was shot or how many times. Her body is being sent to the chief medical examiner's office for an autopsy.
Anyone with information about the man or woman is asked to call Montgomery County Police.

Two men facing state charges in ongoing investigation into unsanctioned Charleston County nightclub
CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) — Two men are now facing state-level alcohol, weapons, and narcotics charges in connection with an ongoing investigation into allegations of illegal activity at an unsanctioned nightclub in Charleston County. Multiple federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies carried out a targeted sting operation at the Alamo club on Highway 78 around 3 a.m. on June 1, which resulted in the arrests of 80 people, including two alleged high-level cartel members and one person wanted in an international murder investigation. Warrants provided June 6 by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) indicate that further investigation in the aftermath of what has been called 'Operation Last Stand' has resulted in additional charges against two individuals. Benjamin Reyna Flores, 59, was charged with Sale of Alcohol by an Unlicensed Person, Unlawful Storage of Alcoholic Liquors, Unlawful Sale of Liquor and Unlawful Sale of Beer. Terone Lavince Lawson, 44, was charged with Possession of Psilocybin MushroomsPossession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Cocaine and two counts of Possession of a Firearm by a Person Convicted of Certain Crimes. The warrants state that Lawson was working as a security guard at the nightclub at the time of the raid, and that drugs and weapons were found in his vehicle. Charleston County Sheriff Carl Ritchie said during a June 2 press conference that the agency had been monitoring the unlicensed club since November 2024. Immigration advocates say Charleston County sting operation unfairly targeted Latinos and Hispanics Authorities said seven people believed to be victims of human trafficking were discovered inside the club during the raid, as well as a missing juvenile. More than 70 people who were taken into custody were believed to be in the country illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The agency also claimed the club was run by a suspected member of Los Zetas, a Mexican drug cartel. But few details surrounding who exactly was swept up in the operation have raised concerns of racial profiling among some in the Hispanic and Latino communities, with immigration advocates calling for more transparency. 'Many of us are too afraid to speak up — not because we're guilty, but because we fear retaliation,' Alejandar Delaveea said in a June 6 press conference. 'Because we don't have legal status. Just being in the wrong place at the wrong time is treated like a crime — even if it's your first offense. If living life is a crime, then I guess I'm guilty… but one thing I won't be is silent.'

Border Patrol seizes 104 lbs. of cocaine found in hidden compartment
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — San Diego Border Patrol agents found and seized over 100 pounds of cocaine after an SUV went through an immigration checkpoint in Southern California on Wednesday. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a K-9 helped lead Border Patrol agents to find 40 bundles of cocaine in the roof of a vehicle that went through Border Patrol's I-15 North immigration checkpoint in Temecula. CBP reports a silver SUV was stopped by Newton-Azrak Station Border Patrol agents at 1:50 p.m. on June 4. After a brief interview, Border Patrol agents brought out a K-9, which alerted them to the presence of narcotics. A search of the vehicle resulted in agents finding 40 bundles, which totaled 104 pounds of cocaine, in the roof in an added motorized compartment. The street value is estimated to be around $708,000. The person driving the vehicle, only identified as a U.S. citizen, was detained by Homeland Security Investigations, which also seized the cocaine. Border Patrol seized the vehicle. The suspect is facing federal charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession with intent to distribute. 'Drug smugglers are often resourceful, but our dedicated agents are always watching,' said San Diego Acting Chief Patrol Agent Jeffrey D. Stalnaker. 'Our agents are the best of the best, and we remain resolute in our mission to keep communities safe.' This fiscal year, San Diego Sector has seized 2,356 pounds of methamphetamine, 2,587 pounds of cocaine, 250 pounds of fentanyl, and 56 pounds of heroin.

Immigration advocates say Charleston County sting operation unfairly targeted Latinos and Hispanics
North Charleston, S.C. (WCBD) — A massive sting operation involving multiple law enforcement agencies has come under scrutiny after immigrant advocacy groups and faith leaders raised concerns about civil rights violations during the arrests. Earlier this week, the Charleston County Sheriff's Office—along with Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and other agencies carried out 'Operation Last Stand,' arresting 80 people in a raid in Ladson. Officials say the raid focused on a location known as The Alamo, which had reportedly been under surveillance for a year due to suspected criminal activity. Authorities claim they arrested two high-level cartel members and an international murder suspect. But community members and immigrant advocates argue the sweep went too far. 'The narrative from the sheriff, governor, and attorney general is that they're targeting violent criminals,' said Will McCorkle, with the Charleston Immigrant Coalition. 'What they quickly overlook are the innocent people who were detained and are now facing deportation for no real purpose.' Two men facing state charges in ongoing investigation into unsanctioned Charleston County nightclub During a press conference held by local advocacy groups, speakers said many of those arrested were not involved in criminal activity and were instead racially profiled and swept up in a broader operation without just cause. 'Let me be clear. We do not condone criminal activity,' said Dulce Lopez, Civil Rights Strategist for the ACLU of South Carolina. 'But no one deserves to be criminalized by simply existing in communities and places. No one should be treated as guilty by association.' Some individuals present at the club that night allege they were lined up and questioned based on appearance alone. 'It didn't matter what we showed them,' said Alejandar Delaveea, an immigrant advocate who was there. 'They refused to believe our IDs were valid. People were lined up by skin color. Those with tattoos were separated and questioned as potential gang members.' Advocates are calling on the Charleston County Sheriff's Office to release the full incident report and provide clarity on how decisions were made during the raid. Many also demand the department cut ties with ICE to rebuild trust within the Hispanic and Latino communities. 'Charleston County's decision to align itself with ICE is a destructive one,' said McCorkle. 'It's already torn families apart and will continue to damage the trust between law enforcement and the people they're supposed to protect.' News 2 reached out to the Charleston County Sheriff's Office regarding these concerns, and the department has not commented on the allegations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
