TOWSON, Md. — Baltimore County Police have identified the alleged gunman accused of killing Towson University student, Nasir Majied, earlier this month.

Reginald T. Gray Jr., 33, is wanted for Majied's murder which occurred around the Towson Circle on June 5.

Detective Trae Corbin, Public Information Officer with Baltimore County Police, spoke with WMAR-2 News after the department released pictures of the suspect.

"I am able to state that the surveillance footage that picked up the vehicle was from the area of where the shooting took place," Corbin said.

While no official motive's been revealed, investigators previously said they couldn't rule out a case of road rage. It's also unclear if the two men were known to each other prior to the shooting.

Gray was last seen driving a silver 2007 Nissan Altima with tinted windows and a Virginia tag — SXM-4392.

Sam Rivera, Associate Manager at Blick in Towson, was working at the time of the shooting.

“We just saw kind of police running across the street, the street being taped off," Rivera said.

Thursday, a noticeable police presence remained on York Road.

It's something that Tessa Merson, General Manager at Madison Reed Hair Color Bar, said she has noticed since right after the shooting happened.

She reacted to Thursday's update in the case.

“I feel as if it was more so an incident that was just there. Like I don’t feel scared that he’s on the loose or anything," Merson said.

Since the shooting, some residents have expressed worries about crime in Towson, but Merson doesn't believe that the shooting causes too much of a problem for businesses.

“It’s unfortunate that it’s in the hub, like the main circle, which obviously cause a lot of attention, but it happens everywhere.”

Corbin said that the department is working hard to find Gray.

“We’re utilizing every resource available to bring this individual to justice. Our detectives are working around the clock and we’re working with our neighboring jurisdictions to find and locate this individual.”

He is considered armed and dangerous, so anyone knowing Gray's whereabouts is asked to immediately call 911 or 410-887-3700.

A cash reward could be available if your tip leads to an arrest and conviction.
