Alleyne turned himself in Monday at the Harford County Detention Center, where he is being held without bail, according to the sheriff's office. Online court records are not yet available. It's unclear if Alleyne has an attorney.

No other charges have been filed in relation to the shooting as of Monday afternoon, police said, but deputies are continuing to investigate.

Deputies were called to the area of Harford Square Drive in Edgewood just after 6 p.m. April 18 for multiple reports of a shooting. In the area of F Court, deputies found evidence of a shooting, but no victims.

Around the same time, Maryland State Police troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Hanson Road and Woodbridge Center way, less than a mile away. Three men, were found near one of the vehicles involved in the crash, all suffering from injuries, police said.

One of the men, Garfield Smith III, 29, of Middle River, was suffering from a gunshot wound to the lower body. All three were taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center to be treated, police said. No other injuries were reported.
