Maryland police searching for suspect who fatally shot snowplow driver

Police are searching for a suspect who fatally shot a private snowplow driver in Ellicott City, Maryland, early Wednesday morning while he was working. 

Howard County police are offering $5,000 for information leading to an arrest in the case, which investigators don’t believe was random. 

Alex Ramirez Garcia, 37, was clearing snow from a Montessori school parking lot when he was shot, police said in a release.
