Baker City resident fires gun toward man after he entered home where couple were sleeping

A Baker City woman fired two shots from a .22 caliber revolver early Wednesday, Sept. 11, after a man had entered her home around 4:30 a.m. and then walked away after she tried to detain him until police arrived.

A Baker City Police officer arrested Brandon Douglas Culbertson, 36, at the Maverik store at 1520 Campbell St. at about 7 a.m. Wednesday.

Culbertson was taken to the Baker County Jail, charged with first-degree criminal trespassing and failing to report as a sex offender. His bail was set at $5,000.

This was Culberton’s second arrest in the past three months.

On June 2, a Baker City Police officer deployed his Taser against Culbertson when two officers tried to arrest him for failing to report as a sex offender.

The June incident happened on Court Avenue near 15th Street.

The Wednesday incident happened about two blocks to the north, on 15th Street between Broadway and Baker streets.

According to a probable cause affidavit written by Baker City Police officer Josh Chandler, Culbertson entered the home of Sidney Luebberke and Luetta Holtz through a sliding door.

Culbertson removed his shoes and socks and approached the couple, who were sleeping.

According to the affidavit, Culbertson told Luebberke and Holtz that he was looking for a woman named Rebecca, and he told the couple he had stayed in their home before.

The couple didn’t know Culbertson and they told police they “feared what the stranger might do.”

According to the affidavit, Holtz took her .22 revolver from a nightstand and ordered Culbertson to walk to the home’s porch and sit down while Luebberke called 911.

While the couple were waiting for police — Baker City Police do not patrol between about 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. due to a staffing shortage — Culbertson became “agitated” according to the affidavit.

“He stood up and began mumbling at (Holtz), he turned toward her, (Holtz) raised the firearm, and Culbertson began to walk away towards the street,” Chandler wrote.

Holtz told Culbertson to sit down, but he refused.

Holtz then fired two shots toward Culbertson as he left.

Intruder shot and killed in Inwood home

By Tom Markland
INWOOD — Early Wednesday morning, Berkeley County Central Dispatch received a 911 call from an Inwood man, reporting that he had just shot an intruder at his mother’s residence in Inwood.

According to a press release, when officers from the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department responded to the scene, they found a male, later identified as 38-year-old Joshua Boone, of Williamsport, Maryland, lying face down on the garage floor with a gunshot wound. Deputies performed lifesaving measures until emergency services arrived, but Boone was pronounced dead shortly after their arrival.

The shooter, identified in a press release as Michael Marshall, of Inwood, told investigators that he was alerted of a break-in at his mother’s house by motion sensors that he had installed the month prior. When he arrived at the house, he found Boone in the garage. Marshall told investigators that he saw Boone turn to him with something in his hand and fired his handgun, hitting Boone.

Marshall has not been charged with any crime.

Two charged for fatal triple shooting at Edmonston laundromat

by: Odyssey Fields, Makea Luzader
EDMONSTON, Md. (DC News Now) — Police are investigating after a man was killed in a triple shooting at a laundromat in Edmonston on Sunday.

Chief Beale with the Edmonston Police Department told DC News that on Sept. 8 around 6 p.m., officers were called to the 4700 block of Kenilworth Ave. for a shooting.

There, police found 18-year-old Anibal Suazo of Lothian, Md., dead. He had been shot, according to the Prince George’s County Police Department (PGPD).

PGPD said that officers found two other people who had been shot — including a woman and 20-year-old Alex Delgado of Silver Spring, Md., later identified as one of the suspects.

Both were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

PGPD said that the second suspect — a 17-year-old boy from New Carrollton — escaped in a car. Police used a helicopter to help chase and arrest him.

PGPD believes that the two suspects targeted Suazo, who was known to them, at the laundromat. They started to physically attack him, and Delgado shot Suazo and the other victim. Suazo returned fire.

Police recovered two guns from the laundromat.

Both Delgado and the 17-year-old were charged as adults with first-degree murder and other related charges.
