RE: State v. Anthony Sean Ross
On Thursday, February 13, 2025, Anthony Sean Ross, 32, of Nottingham, was convicted of First Degree Murder, Conspiracy to Commit First Degree Murder, and related firearms charges following a five-day jury trial before the Honorable M. Elizabeth Bowen in the Circuit Court for Harford County.
Facts presented throughout the trial showed that on April 12, 2022, a 38-year-old Edgewood man was murdered outside of his home. The investigation revealed that 22 shots were fired in the vicinity of the victim, three of which struck him in the back, ultimately leading to his death. Despite limited initial evidence, a thorough and extensive investigation was conducted by the Harford County Sheriff’s Office ultimately identifying Ross as the primary suspect. Ross will continue to be held at the Harford County Detention Center pending his sentencing which will be held at a later date.
Following the jury’s guilty verdict, State’s Attorney Alison M. Healey stated: “This conviction represents a significant step towards justice for this victim and his family and serves as a reminder that Harford County will stop at nothing to investigate, charge, and prosecute violent criminals. It is my hope that closing this very long chapter of the judicial process will bring a measure of closure to this family and deter others from further violence in our community.”
State’s Attorney Healey thanks Assistant State’s Attorneys Joel Muneses and Vincenzo Culotta for their relentless pursuit of justice in this case despite the many challenges throughout the trial process. She also recognizes the dedication and skill of Detectives Smith and Ross of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office whose efforts were instrumental in securing this conviction.
