Ellicott City (JK) – Howard County police have charged three Baltimore men in the August 2025 fatal shooting of Leon Grant, 39, of Salisbury. Authorities say Grant was found dead in his vehicle in a parking lot near Dove Sail Lane and Merriweather Drive in Columbia around 10:30 p.m. on August 19.
26-year-old Montreal Proctor, 36-year-old Talondo Short and 36-year-old Damon Simpson Jr. face charges including first- and second-degree murder, assault, and firearm violations. Proctor and Short are being held at the Howard County Detention Center without bond, while Simpson is in custody in another jurisdiction for an unrelated case.
