Also tried ensuring they couldn't ID him... :erm:

The Associated Press is reporting that the suspect in the shooting mutilated his fingers in an apparent attempt to prevent law enforcement from identifying him by his fingerprints.

Despite the mutilation, however, investigators were able to identify the suspect using facial recognition technology, according to the AP.

The suspect’s identity has not been released to the public.

In September 2015, the second-highest court in Maryland upheld a 2013 ruling in favor of Capital-Gazette Communications dismissing the defamation lawsuit Jarrod Ramos filed in 2012 against The Capital, its then-staff writer Eric Hartley and the paper’s then-publisher, Thomas Marquardt, the newspaper reported at the time. Hartley is now an editor at the Virginian Pilot.

Ramos sued the paper, Hartley and Marquardt over a column Hartley wrote in 2011 about Ramos’ guilty plea to criminal harassment, according to The Capital. Prince George’s Circuit Court Judge Maureen M. Lamasney dismissed the lawsuit in 2013, saying Hartley’s article was based on public records and that Ramos had no evidence it was inaccurate.

Sounds like the dude had a very long-running grudge against the paper after he serially harassed people and they wrote a story about it.
 
Random tidbit I picked up.

This happened in Annapolis. The Mayor of Annapolis is a guy called Gavin Buckley.

Gavin Buckley was born in Boksburg, South Africa and raised by a single mother in Perth, Australia. Buckley attended Belmont City College, then began working around the world. He arrived in the United States in 1992, Buckley only had 200 dollars when he had landed in Spa Creek, Maryland by boat. He began work at a tavern as a waiter.
