A man and a woman have been charged with attempted murder after police said they shot an Edgewood man in the head during a botched carjacking earlier this month, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down.
Malaika Kimani Cook, 21, of the 1300 block of Jervis Square in Belcamp, and Philip Anthony Mack, 26, of the 1800 block of Waltman Road in Edgewood are charged with one count each of attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, attempted armed carjacking, armed robbery, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, first- and second-degree assault, and attempted theft of under $100.
Mack and Cook are being held without bond at the Harford County Detention Center, according to Harford County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Monica Worrell.
On April 9 at approximately 9:20 p.m., deputies responded to the 1900 block of Waltman Road in Edgewood, and found Quentin Van Stepney Jr., 27, lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to his head. Officers found his van in a nearby wooded area against a tree, unoccupied and in reverse with the engine running.
According to charging documents, Cook told Stepney to meet her at that location. When he arrived, she entered his vehicle, remaining there while Mack and another man, Corey Dante Wilson, 25, approached the van.
Police said Mack put a handgun in Stepney’s face and attempted to carjack him and steal money. A struggle followed, during which police said Stepney was able to put the vehicle in reverse, but was shot in the head.
Investigators found that Mack, Wilson, and Cook had all been together prior to the shooting.
Stepney was transported to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. According to charging documents for Cook, Stepney is paralyzed from the neck down due to the gunshot wound.

Great work HCSO!
Dear Ms Cook and Mr. Mack, I do hope that a profit of zero dollars and no added assets are worth an all-expenses-paid vacation in the poke.
Criminals will never learn.
now can we use the death penalty? eye for an eye
no, no, no. we can’t execute them. just snap their necks and let them suffer like their victim. and no state-funded medical care for them, either.
No, if convicted, everything they earn goes to the victim. For life.
Phil is innocent, no way he shot that guy, I’ve known him for too long, something’s not right, Phil didn’t do it!!!
Why did the third not get arrested?
I am sorry but neither of those individuals are innocent. They planned and commited this crime. But anywhere, you are innocent til proven guilty and they will be proven guilty.
May they never see the light of day again and get the dealth penalty.
I know the victim, and he is as innocent as they come. Very humble, doesnt get into trouble, and works hard. What these three people did to him can never be taken back. I hope the ones charged get the maximum punishment the state of maryland can dish out.
I no wat happen it did not go down like an she did not do that she is my wife
If she is your wife, then why was she hanging out wit these dudes? No way are any of them innocent. I live in the neighborhood, I know exactly the type of stuff they be up to.
LOL She is definatey not your wife for one because i know her. and two, she has sex with young boys. so i hope its not
I hope they get the maximum punishment. Thank God this dude is now out of my neighborhood. Just one more to go….
Unfortuantely, she was with these dudes. I am sorry but the victim who is my husbands best friend wouldnt lie. He is an innocent victim. She called the victim, she made the arrangements, just cause she wasnt the shooter doesnt mean she isnt guilty as well. She is an accesssory before and after the fact. She consipired with these other dudes and the police have proof they were all hanging out together before the incident (per the article)
@JIMMY
If you know what happened, and she is your wife, So whats the real story? If there is another side and you know the truth, why didnt you go to the police?…
Because there are alot of people that live in that community (as you can see from previous comments) that know what happened, and there is evidence to prove it or they wouldnt have arrested her.
That is why they will have the court hearing, and the truth will all be revealed (guilty). You are innocent until proven guilty… but sorry to say i bet the police have a lot of evidence against all three of these individuals or they wouldnt have arrested and charged them with what they did.
this is crazy i grew up with Malaika she is a good person and a great mother.. sad that she is so easily influenced though. I would never in a million years imagine that she could do something of this nature though. Ima be praying for her. And poor Quentin.!! God bless him and his family its real fucked up how bad things still are in edgewood..
@Nat
If Malaika was such a great person she would have put her children first and not done something so low down. Now their lives have been forever changed over a senseless act. I have sympathy for the victim and for the children of the criminals, but not the criminals. The criminals are right where they belong…locked up. The other one needs to be locked up ASAP to complete the trio.
Good job police!!
okay I can say for a fact that Phil is a great person and a great dad! NOBODY knows the truth due to the fact that everybody is reading the stuff from the same article I dont know her but i know her baby daddy and ive heard shes been a loose cannon from jump! shes had a warrant for a year if you care about your kids you wouldnt do dumb stuff in the beginning! as for the third person they obviously dont care about him because they are not saying hes wanted or anything about looking for him. how about everybody just wait for the truth to come out before you talk about people you dont know because i know 2 out of 3 of them!
“If you care about your kids you wouldn’t do dumb stuff…”
I’ve said this countless times and still I manage to illicit a response from someone like you that says I don’t know the whole story. Neither do you. One thing is certain, associating with bad people has a way of tainting you. If you endorse them being in your home and around your children you establish that the things they do are acceptable. I told this to a girl five years ago. She now lives in the home of her ex con husband’s mom with her four children. And the kids have seen the sheriff come to the home to cart the husband away on more than one occasion. And since she has associated with him, she no longer works as a medical assistant, owes $6000 to two different landlords and is in court today to answer to charges of fraud for taking unemployment insurance benefits while working to the tune of $19,000. It’s tough to support the lifestyle of a criminal… tougher still when you expose your children to them.
@crazzyyy Just about every person ever accused of committing a heinous crime, has someone like you coming out to say how great a person was, and that they could never do something like this. I dont know what your definition of great is, but it is obviously lacking. 27 years old and living at home with mom and two kids and baby mama, tells a story right there. Loud mouths smoking weed and drinking in front of mama house, and leaving trash all over the place, tells another story. Cops frequently being called to the house at all times of day and night, tells another story. You do the math, accept that he is a f*#k up and move on.
@Moreorless
I couldnt agree with you more. Everyone wants to say how good a person is, even though they commited a henious crime and have paralyzed someone, all over a car. These two individuals are dangerous to the community, their family and their children. These people werent innocent, law abiding, great people at all. They are criminals and should be treated as such. It makes me angry to hear this stuff that these people were so nice, wouldnt hurt a fly… but have criminal records and continue to commit crimes. i wish people would stop trying to say things to make people feel sorry for these criminals who deserve to spend the rest of their lives in jail.
@whatever
I agree, if she was such a great person and a great mother she wouldnt have gotten herself in the mess she has gotten herself into. She would have walked away and not have been involved with those other two guys. She already had another warrant out for her arrest.
We know the victim very well. Everyday he fights for his life because of what these senseless, heartless people have done to him. Everyday he fights for the ability to walk and move his arms again. Its heartwrenching to see our dear friend this way. The criminals are where they belong, in jail and i hope they stay there for the rest of their lives and never see the light day again.
I understand everyone has their own opinion, thats fine. But unless people know exact details from the horses mouth, then they shoudlnt speculate. The truth will be revealed during the trial of these two.
@Crazy
Thats what you think, but certain people know more than you think. we have known the victim for years and saw him on a daily basis. If these criminals (phil and malaika ) were so great, why did they do this? Why would they committ such a horrible crime. The only thing you know about them is their character and deemer. They both had warrants out for their arrest. So obviously they werent as good of a person as you think they are. They have commited previous crimes, and committed another one… a serious one. THEY COMMITED A HORRIBLE CRIME, PLANNED IT AND CARRIED IT OUT. They deserve to be punished to the full extent of the law. God save their children and hope they dont grow up to be like their parents.
Lawd Have Mercy! They be black! I bet they were good chilldren and were turning their life around. Ghetto trash in Harco. You have to love the Move To Opportunity
Dum
For all of you saying that “Phil is a good dad” & “Malaika is a good mom” you all need to be quiet !! Obviously they aren’t that good of parents if they commited this crime. Plus the both of them have previous records for some of the similar things. You all say you know the whole story , well I know the victim very well , we dated & practically lived together. I visit him from time to time & when he told me the story he said “I couldn’t breath , I thought I was gonna die” Q doesn’t bother anyone , he keeps to himself , he went to work everyday & attended the mosque faithfully every Sunday. So for everyone to sit here & act like these two weren’t wrong is crazy to me. Phil shot him in his face & the bullet landed on his spinal cord , meaning he is now PARALYZED FROM THE NECK ON DOWN ! But you all want me to sit here & have compassion for Phillip & Malaika ???!?! Because they have children ? How about Quentin? He is someone’s son , brother & uncle & friend. I do know the whole story ! All I want to know is , was the $40 that was stolen from him really WORTH IT ? & WHY DID THEY DO THIS TO HIM ?
@ the TRUTH.
Im glad to see more people posting about how they know quentin and how much they care for him.
But i wouldnt humor these people that dont care about the quentin, trust me… its not worth your time. They are just going to continue to preech that these two were such good people, such good parents. Sorry but if they were, they wouldnt have done this. Did they at all once think about what example they are setting for their children? I think its sick and disgusting to think that these people think that what phil and malaki did wasnt bad at all and they are so damn innocent. ,they are not innocent at all… not one bit. and i could care less about them. I believe they should never see the light of day again. I dont care about what people say about them or their kids. God save their children and hope to god they dont grow up and become people just like their parents.
We care about Quentin and his fight. His fight to walk, use his hands… and get out of that hospital. My husband and i visit him very often as well. He’s been like a brother… We used to see him everyday and when he moved, we saw him almost as often. It’s heart wrencing to see him in the hospital, i wish there was more we could do for him.
First of all, the bullet split in two. Secondly, it wasnt just for the money… just an FYI. But really that is not the point. The point is that these people intentionally tried to end his life all over something so small.. because they are criminals. I remember him say “they tried to kill me”…. made my stomach upset and i cried. It’s so hard to stomach the fact that this happened to such a good friend, who we consider part of our family.
The only thing that matters is that we all love and care for quentin very much and just want to see him get better.
FOR all that have been following this story. They have arrested Corey Wilson, the third in connection to this shooting. They are currenting looking for a fourth suspect. All are going to be charged with the same above 8 charges.

http://www.abc2news.com/dpp/news/crime_checker/harford_county_crime/third-suspect-arrested-in-shooting
ughhhh let me tell yall something..number one can yall tell me who pulled the trigger????? yea i know you cant! There are 4 people involved with this in which one of them that is the supposed shooter is still free..do people get death penalty and other long periods of time in jail just because they robbed a bank?!?! like to be completely honest the stuff could go to court and they could all plead guilty and get 4 years for it…nobody knows what really happened that day not even me so im not protecting anybody i KNOW 2 of them were good people because I was around them all the time phil loves his kids and it dont matter how old he was and where he was living or what he was doing that doesnt make somebody a good person..so where ever you got that from you can just throw it right back. Everybody has their own problems and yall aint nobody to be judging anybody for what they’ve done cuz nobody has ever judged yall for what you’ve done in your life. Im not saying what happened was right at all and im not even picking sides all im doing is saying what i know from facts. If they werent good people i would have never allowed them near my child and both of them have been in my house and watched my son and my son loves them both! so like i said before yall need to wait until the end of this whole situation cuz not everybody paralyzed him it was one person that shot everybody else is guilty by association and because they were around when it happened. somebody tried to steal a car..some money…but in the end one person paralyzed that man….so for anybody to be saying all of them.. no all of them didnt do it and that wont be found out until court gets here. so how about you guys find a life until that time comes instead of talking crap about people and you dont even kno there involvement. people get carjacked everyday and robbed you dont see people running their mouths about oh the death penalty this and they need all the time they can get that.
It is called the Felony Murder Rule. In the act of Comitting a Felony It lead to an act of violence and attempted Murder. That would make them all guilty even if they did not pull the trigger because they all where involved in the underlying felony; and accordingly I hope they all Burn in Hell!
CDev’s right. It doesn’t matter who pulled the trigger. They’re all co-conspirators and they’re all guilty off attempted 1st degree murder.
BTW, I believe Corey Wilson has also been arrested in connection with this incident. Another WMD goes down.
You really are Crazy. Just reading what you wrote suggest you feel that no one is responsible for this act. And suggesting you let them near your children based on your belief they are good people says nothing about your personal judgement. I keep coming back to the same story because people like you just do not get it. I know a girl who married a guy out of prison for passing forged prescriptions. I have letter from his doctor to him identifying her as duplicating his Oxy prescriptions. She as a medical assistant but is no longer employed in that capacity. I took the phone away that I allowed her to use and got text messages asking to buy 30s for about $40. So she lives with this guy, she married this guy, and she has two children by this guy, and two others, she’s getting money for something probably measured in milligrams, and she’s implicated in forging prescriptions which he was convicted of – and you probably think there’s more to the story that makes this all acceptable? Did it ever occur to you that maybe you see crime but are incapable of recognizing it? Or like the girl in my story, do you tolerate and allow it?
@ CDEV
I agree with you 100%!!!!!!!!!!
Thank goodness there is someone else that knows the law.
@ CRAZYYY
tell you something, can you tell me who pulled the trigger? Bet ya cant. You can talk all you want that these people were good… but now look at what they have done. hey are all guilty of the crime. They were all there, they planned it, and committed it. ITS CALL PREMEDITATION. Look that up. Even if they didnt pull the trigger, they are guilty of all the charges…, because they are an accessory before and after the fact. So dont even go there. NONE OF THEM SHOULD SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. its disgusting to sit here and read the fact that people are going to vouch for other people that committed such a horrible crime on an innocent person. What did the victim EVER do to these 4 people? NOTHING… nothing. Shame on you for allowing these people to be around your kids… what kind of parent does that show you to be that you’ve allowed REPEAT offenders be around your kids. Im sorry but i am not going to allow a criminal, who has warrants out for their arrest around my children. LOVING their children has NO BEARING WHATSOEVER on who they are as a person. They can love their kids, who doesnt… your points that you are trying to make, to make these people seem like good individuals are pointless. Oh I AM PICKING SIDS, QUENTIN’S SIDE, THE INNOCENT VICTIMS SIDE….AND I KNOW THE FACTS, for your information. I find your commentoffensive. You are basically sticking up for people that tried to KILL SOMEONE. All over a car and some money. What if that was your kid that got shot? wouldnt you want justice to be served to the MAX? put yourself in his mother’s shoes…. You know what the end of the situation is going to be? the outcome? THEY ALL END UP IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES…that is what is going to happen. TOO much evidence and witnesses. I HOPE AND PRAY THEY NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. and god pray for their children not to grow up and make dumb mistakes like their parents have made. What they did makes me upset to my stomach. The victim is like a brother to me and my family. EVERYONE INVOLVED made him paralyzed because THEY ALL PLAY A PART IN THE INCIDENT. read up on your facts. They are all guilty, even if they didnt pull the trigger. they all planned the crime, hung out before the crime, and then carried out the crime leaving an innocent person in shock trama. laying the streets bleeding out thinking he was going to die cause he couldn’t breathe. You think thats right? you think that they dont deserve punishment? you think that 4 years is enough?? THEY TRIED TO KILL SOMEONE… and should be punished to the full extent of the law. I studied criminal justice and even though you never put one finger on that trigger, you are still an accessory. and will be punished as well. It might not carry the same sentence as the person who actually pulled the trigger, but its going to be almost as much as that. I can talk all i want too, i know the people involved, i know what happened…… and its going to be really funny when the truth comes out (cause alot of people know what happened) and you are wrong. so before you tell other people to stop talking about things before they know what truely happened, why dont you stop and think what you are saying. Cause you dont know either. Yes, people get carjacked and robbed everyday… see there you go again… claiming you know facts when you dont. THEY PLANNED THIS, IT WASNT A RANDOM CARJACKING OR ROBBERY… IT WAS PLANNED. PRE MEDITATED!! (premeditation noun advance planning, deliberate intent, deliberate intention, design, dissinct purpose) So yea, and they tried to kill him… so dealthy penalty would be a GREAT sentence for these people. They are criminals. they should never be allowed to be in public with the rest of the community ever again.
Who really cares if these suspects are/are not good parents? At this moment, they are conspirators in a serious crime and it ain’t looking too good for them. Some of the posters on this thread have opinions that are so far off the radar screen or normalacy that I wonder where do you live that this is acceptable behavior b/c you know a suspect and think she/he is nice.
@CRAZZZY. I think you need a serious lesson in ethics, morals, and basic common sense. I will never understand how people can commit heinous acts and someone always comes out of the woodwork with “they loved their kids”. If it helps you sleep at night, then by all means use that as a crutch. People who know love in that capacity don’t do things like this, or even put themselves in the position to do things like this. Stop making excuses for the trash of harford county.
Things like this seem to only be happening in Edgewood and you Crazzy are a prime example of the mentality that a lot of the Edgewood community shares. Please pull your head out of your rear and look at the big picture. I feel sorry for your kids if this is all they have to look up to.
@Crazyyyy you sit here & make excuses for these individuals. You say it was 4 people , you say “no one knows the whole story” & your going to sit here & practically say Phil didn’t pull the trigger ? I have a question for you ; Do you know the victim ? Have you ever sat down & held a conversation WITH the victim ? I would think not , because if you did YOU would not sit there & act like the two people you “KNOW” didn’t commit such a heartless crime. You say we have no right to judge , your right nobody has the right to judge anyone’s lifestyle , but when someone walks around committing the same crimes they did before this incident , it makes you question their character. I’m not going to say things like “Phillips was 27 years old , still living with his mama” I’m not going to judge that man off of silly things like that , I will judge him off of his actions. His actions clearly showed that not ONE time was he thinking about the children he “so dearly loves” nor was malaika ! At the end of the day right is right & wrong is wrong. The police has caught the third guy and I hope we find out what he’s about too. It doesn’t matter if crimes like this happen everyday , when it hits close to home , its a problem. So I would suggest that you talk to your man Phil , cause Q saw him pull that trigger. As “crazy” as that may seem to you , it’s the truth.
i know 3 of the suspects and its embarrassing to have ever called them friends. i also know Q which makes everything harder because at some point you want to defend your friends but its wrong.. A GOOD MAN WAS HURT ALMOST KILLED keep that in mind. everyone is so hell bent on defending their friends but they are missing the point.. you have to look at the situation from every angle reguardless if Phil Malaika Corey or David is a friend or if Quentin is a friend. NO ONE DESERVES TO BE ROBBED NO ONE DESERVES TO BE SHOT.. i hope everyone can learn from this situation. 4 people thought it would be a better idea to take what did not belong to them instead of working to get theirs and then they tried to play god.. WELL GOD IS GOOD AND THATS WHY Q IS ALIVE.. Thats why Malaika Phil and Corey was caught and thats why David will be caught.. If you Care about your friends then care about them but dont defend their wrong doings.. The people we once knew are gone and are now criminals who attempted to steal the life of another human being and im not sure about every other person who considered the suspects their friends but me i respect my life and the life of others all too well to sit up here and defend a person who tried to hurt someone. Yes the suspects have kids but if they didnt care enough to stay out of trouble for the sake of their kids why should we care about these people and the face that their children are now a parent short.?? the reality of the situation is there is nothing we can do no matter what we say what happened happend and all we can do now is support who we choose and call it a day.
I agree completely! I am so sick and tired of seeing comments of people trying to defend phil, malaika, cory and david. What they did was wrong, they tried to take another human beings life for some cash and a car… because they dont want to work to get their own.? They deserve to spend the rest of thier lives in prison, away from the public. They have done similar crimes in the past, they are repeat offenders, criminals and should rot in jail. They are setting a HORRIBLE example for their children. Q is a dear friend, like a brother… and its heart wrenching that everyday he is struggling to move his hands or feet. It’s so terrible that these four would try to take his life.
exactly.. I grew up with David and Malaika and i knew Phil but just because i know them and grew up with them wont change my decision.. Quentin is a good man and for as long as i have known him he has been a good person and friend so for him i hope justice is served even if that means people that i once considered friends have to suffer.. Alot of people on here are wishing the death penalty well i dont.. i hope they live long lives each year day hour and minute in jail.. the price of something they have done can never be paid but to live with it eating away at them forever is a good enough deal to me!!!
As long as they are punished to the full extent of the law and never see the light of day again, i would be happy with a ruling of life in prison. The death penatly, yes is harsh… but they also tried to take Q’s life… so either sentence would work for me. They tried to take his life, left him laying in the middle of the road praying to live and to breathe. They are horrible people. Quentin is a great person, a great friend, and like a member of our family. He is very dear to us and we miss not having him over on a daily basis to hang out. My kids miss not having him over. Everytime i talk about it and what happened, its very emotional and hits home really hard. We just keep praying that he will be able to move his arms, hands, feet, legs again and be able to do all the things before this horrible incident happened.
Just to clarify, the death penalty is not a possibility in this case for numerous legal reasons but the most obvious one is that the victim did not actually succumb to his injuries. Attempted first degree murder is not a capital offense in Maryland. I think the most likely scenario here is a combination of lesser charges such as attempted second degree murder, attempted armed robbery, and use of a handgun in commission of a felony. I think the combined max on these three charges is in the neighborhood of 50 years, but the guidelines would be less than the max and vary based on each defendants history.
However, if the victim later dies, and the death can be attributed to the wounds from the assault, murder charges can be brought up at a later date. As the victim is paralyzed, there is a high likelihood that the victims death could be causally related to the assault, even if the death were not to take place for years.
Anyways, have a nice day.
Since we can’t drop a bomb on this part of the county, or give the property to APG, maybe we should start thinking fences. Like a Zoo, only dirtier and more dangerous.
You all are EXACTLY WHY this country and the laws are messed up. It’s not innocent until proven guilty, it’s guilty and dam hard to prove innocence even when you are. That’s why the wrong people have been convicted and why innocent men get the death penalty. I don’t know what happened, and niether do any of you!!!! All we do know is this event changed the lives of everyone involved and it’s a shame us as people do this to each other, no matter who was right or wrong, and which none of you are the judge of that either, and shouldn’t act like you are!!!!!!! If you do not know and wasn’t there or saw what happened KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT over who did what CUZ U HAVE NO CLUE!!!!!!!!!! Those of you who judge know will only have to answer to one judge in the end.
Actually, they’re only innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
This isn’t a court of law.
You all on this post saying a man is guilty in our “great country” of innocent until proven guilty, as well as everyone involved just prove the problems we have and face, and what’s wrong with our society and “THE SYSTEM”!!!! I think everyone of you all is a human being (can’t tell from some of your comments that you posses a heart or brain) none the less, we ALL have made and will make mistakes, and should be each giving the opportunity to learn, grow, and improve on them.
Sorry but I don’t make mistakes like shooting someone. They can grow and learn from them locked away from the rest of society. I am sure they will have plenty of time to do so.
@king of common sense:
Yes, i know that the death penalty probably wont play out in this case, but damn would it be nice… because they tried to take my friends life over a car and some monney. Stupid they are, and they should rot in jail for the rest of their lives. Second of all, you need to look up the max sentences per charge…. its more than just 50 years
@ R D J
First of all, i know what happened because we are close to the victim and know it from the victims mouth… so why dont you close yours. you obviously have no idea what happened so you shouldnt be telling others to not say anything… cause you dont even know. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT INNOCENT by any means. Too much evidence against them. So maybe you should heed your own words and not talk about things you HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT.
THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOT LEARNED FROM THEIR MISTAKES BECAUSE THEY ALL HAD PREVIOUS WARRANTS OUT FOR THERE ARRESTS AND HAVE COMMITTED OTHER CRIMES. these people wont change, they will continue to do so. Obviously they havent learned, so they will not change. I am sorry but they tried to take a person’s life… they planned this out before hand and carried it out… and now my dear friend is struggling to walk and use his arms again. How dare you have no compassion whatsoever for the victim.
I agree with CDEV, let them rot in jail for the rest of their lives thinking about what they did to this poor innocent man. They do not deserve to see the light of day ever again.
CHECK THE STATS/SEE WHATS WHAT AND CHECK THE NUMBERS FOR THE REAL TRUTH!!!!!!! LEAN ON THE LORDS SIDE!!!!!!
All I have to say is for all of those that had negative to say PHILLIP MACK’S charges have been DISMISSED!!! The lord is good and the truth set him free. Shame on those wishing a innocent man spend his life in prison or worse. Anyone that truly knows Phil knows that he didn’t do this and he didn’t deserve to be in there. Prayers for Quentin and that the right people are brought to justice!
Sorry SMILESALLDAY but i do not believe he is innocent. I believe he did partake in some part of this crime. The truth will come out in trial, and they can always lock his butt up again. He was with the other two prior and after the crime, plus he probably knew about it. Just cause these charges were dismissed doesnt mean they will not get him for accessory before or after the fact. Just wait and see, the truth will come out. Shame on nothing, they wouldnt have locked him up and held him without bail for no darn reason, they had reason. I bet he probably flipped on the other two to get these charges dismissed.
If it comes down to he’s innocent, then he is. But i dont believe that to be true. I just have a feeling he had something to do with what happened to quentin.
You really are making yourself look completely ignorant. Before you were all ” I know for a fact that Phil pulled the trigger” and now you just have a feeling. Get real and worry about the losers that really did commit this horrible crime instead of focusing on the one that didn’t!
First of all, you are being ignorant…. You are putting words in my mouth that for one i didnt say. i never said FOR A FACT that phil pulled the trigger. I wasnt there that night, and i cannot say that he in fact pulled the trigger. So before you start pointing fingers and getting all angry, maybe you should do a little more research. I think you need a check into reality.
He was with these people before and after the crime. he has a history of committing offenses, a detailed criminal record. He is not innocent, and i am disgusted they allowed him to return to the community.
But they will get him, if not for the charges that were dropped for other charges associated with this crime.
The truth will come out, just wait and see… and then you will be recanting what you are preaching right now. more than likely he probably snitched on the other two so that he could get released. He was with these people before and after the fact… the article where COREY DAVIS was caught states that the investigators had proof that they were all with one another before and fled the scene together. So just cause he didnt pull the trigger, doesnt mean he is not associated or part of the crime. He’ll screw up again and do something and get caught. He end up back in jail where he has been numerous times before. Once a criminal, always a criminal. Sorry but from past experience studying criminal justice and the law, the likelyhood that people can change and will stop committing crimes is pretty damn slim.
Let the police, investigators, and basically the law do its job. Justice will be served for QUENTIN.
I dont really want to sit here and argue with someone. This is not what matters. What really matters is QUENTIN’S recovery and that justice be served for the people that committed these crimes, whether it be Phil or not. But oviously it was the other two or they wouldnt have been indicted. I am not a detective, nor was i there that night. I do not have all the evidence, i know what i know straight from the victim himself. Who else to better have the truth them him himself. So i ask you to just let this be. Everything should be focused on convicting the people that set this up, pulled the trigger and was a part of this crime before and after…. and most importantly, QUENTIN’S RECOVERY.
Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.–Benjamin Franklin
HEY, WHAT DO YOU KNOW!!?!?!???!? I GOT ON HERE AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED AND TOLD EVERYONE OF YOU JUDGEMENTAL PRICKS THAT PHIL WAS INNOCENT. ALL OF YOU PASSED JUDGEMENT AND THOUGHT YOU KNEW WHAT DID AND WOULD HAPPEN. BUT LIKE I SAID FROM THE VERY BEGINING PHIL WAS INNOCENT, WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW??? ALL, YES ALL, AS IN EVERY SINGLE CHARGE AGAINST PHIL WAS DROPPED AND DISMISSED =NAU PROCESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOPE ALL OF YOU THAT WANTED HIM TO SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE IN JAIL AND THOSE OF YOU WHO WANTED THE DEATH PENALTY SHOULD FEEL REAL STUPID RIGHT NOW!!!! YOU ALL WANTED TO KILL OR PUT AN INNOCENT MAN IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE AND YOU ALL COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY MORE WRONG (AS PROVEN BY COURT, AND OUR SYSTEM) AND YOU ALL SHOULD BE TOTALLY ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ALL ARE RUDE, IGNORANT, POS, JERKS, AND WHAT’S WRONG WITH SOCIETY!!!!! I HOPE YOU ALL CAN SLEEP TONIGHT KNOWING YOU WANTED TO DO SUCH THINGS AS KILL OR PRISON FOR LIFE AN INNOCENT MAN!!!!!!! YOU ALL WILL BE JUDGED ONE DAY AND I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU WHEN YOU ARE!!!!! IM SURE NONE OF YOU ARE MAN OR WOMAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT THAT YOU WAS AND ARE WRONG OR HAVE ENOUGH HEART TO APOLOGIZE. BUT YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE AND YOU HAVE TO ANSWER FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS. PHIL AND MYSELF ARE STRAIGHT!!! IT’S PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT HAVE A PROBLEM AND YOU ALL SHOULD BE JAILED FOR LIFE OR FACE THE DEATH PENALTY FOR BEING SUCH SORRY EXCUSES FOR HUMAN BIENGS!!!!!!! HAVE A GREAT LIFE, YOU ALL NEED A ROLE MODEL OR A HUG, AND LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN HORRIBLE VIEWS AND OPINIONS AND SORRY LIFE’S!!!!! CYA WOULDN’T WANT TO BE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUSTICE WAS SERVED!!!!!!! PHIL WAS INNOCENT AND WAS PROVEN TO BE SO!!! He is NOW out of jail and HOME with his family and friends. Now all of you sorry excuses for people can go back about your MISSERABLE depressing lives!!!!!!!!!!
I think JUSTICR4QUENTON should voice his or her opinion in the community rather than online! 🙂
Oh believe you me, i am. The community will know about this. Justice will be served for Quentin. And i have every right to post my opinion on here so that the people that are following the story hear what i have to say as well.
You people are so easy to point your fingers right back at me, but i have been saying since day one, I AM NOT A DECTECTIVE, i am not the police, i know what i know from the victim. He has no reason to lie, but to give the truth about who did this to him so that it cant be done to someone else.
R D J: if anyone should be called ignorant or other words, which what you just posted is wrong, it should be you. Just cause these charges were dropped doesnt mean they are not going to find a reason to put his butt back in jail. He is a criminal… and again, its disgusting that the system has failed and put this guy back on the streets. You should be ashamed of yourself for associating yourself with a criminal. I would sleep much better if this guy wasnt back in the community. JUSTICE HAS NOT BEEN SERVED and you are blind, ignorant and just as dumb as the rest if you believe it has been. It’s disgusting to know that people out there are in support of people who commit or even a part of a henious crime as this one that leaves a man struggling to walk, and move his arms again. Again, just cause he didnt pull the trigger, doesnt mean he wasnt an accessory before and after the fact. Truth will come out and i am going to laugh so hard when his butt ends up back in jail in connection with this crime. I am glad you feel proud of a guy who ended up being a snitch. Yea, cause i like to surround myself with people that commit crimes or snitch on others so that their charges will be dropped. Justice will be served, its called karma.. and it will eventually catch up to him. Check his record, its pretty long. He doesnt deserve an apology because he was with the rest of them before and after the crime so whatever. You are the rest of you that believe that these people are innocent are what is wrong with the world. You are so easily blinded, that you cannot even see that these people are capable of doing these types of crimes. Wow, you really have no grasp on reality, jailed or the death penalty for having an opinion? Wow, you really have some issues. I dont have a sorry life, i have a great life… surrounded by great, criminal free, people. You should take a good look in the mirror yourself and see what a sorry life you are leading.
Like the first comment said GOOD JOB HCSO!!! THEY FINALLY GOT ONE RIGHT, and that’s why Phil is a free man!!! Justice4Quint u r a scumbag, and I hope your life doesn’t turn out to be as MISSERABLE and DEPRESSING as it seems to be right now. Good luck to u, u r gonna need it. I hope one day you are a lot more educated in life cuz u r def ot lacking right now. You are a sorry excuse to human kind and I feel sorry for people like u!!!!!! You have no clue and need to wake the f up. Hopefully one day you will, and maybe you can concentrate all of your naive hatred towards something more useful than your ridiculously stupid and ignorant views on this and life itself. Ugh, the death penalty and jail should be for idiots LIKE YOU!!!! You should probably spend more time worrying about your so called friend “quinten” and stop worrying about me and mine (Phil)!!! We was doing fine before and well be straight after you, but you will still be you, and have to deal with it, so I hope you have a lot of people to help you and pray for you cuz u need it
I am just going to sit here and laugh at the fact that you think your words are going to affect me… OHHH he called me scumbag, please dude you need to re-evaluate your life and take a NICE LONG look in the mirror. I find it really funny that you are so darn childish. This is why you will never amount to anything in this world. you will be the same scum of the community, you are what is wrong with this world. Keep talking like that, just keep saying stuff like that thinking that its going to effect me in any way. Too bad i am a smarter person than you. By the way you talk and how you spell, i bet you barely grauated highschool, if that. So why dont you re-educate yourself. i have hatred towards people that commit these crimes, especially to a family member of mine. Be very careful of what you say, watch your words VERY CAREFULLY. I feel sorry for people like you, that are so blind, uneducated, and just the scum of the earth. ITS CALLED MY OPINION. How dare you even speak about quentin. he is innocent and a victim. You dont know him, you werent there when this happened so YOU HAVE NO RIGHT to even speak his name. I know who i am, and proud of who i am. I feel sorry for you because you are probably a criminal yourself and hang out with our criminals. You are the scum of the earth, go climb back in the hole you came out of.
I find it funny how people can sit here and argue, and point fingers. Why dont you all just wait for the truth to come out. So what if Phil was released, if they didnt have enough evidence for those charges, so be it. It doesnt mean WHATSOEVER that they wont get him on something else. From what i heard, he has commited and been convicted in the past, he’ll slip up again.
As for the two of you RDJ and JUSTICE4QUENTIN. you two really need to cut this out. This place isnt meant for this. Who the hell cares, unless you were there and know what happened, you all need to chill out and wait for the truth comes out during the trial of the other two.
Everyone needs to take a giant darn chill pill. Justice will be served and the people responsible for commiting this crime against quentin, will be punished to the full extent of the law. Prayers are with Quentin and his family/friends. I hope he makes a speedy and full recovery. It’s a shame this has happened to an innocent man.
I wonder if any of this was a violation of his probation? For his prvious robery and assult arrest and conviction! Either way the LORD will judge and I am thinking not to kindly
For the record!
Nolle prosequi
does not mean found innocent it means unwilling to persue!
I’ve spoke to quenton and his family, none of which ever said anything relatively close to what you’re saying. You don’t know anybody. You’re sitting at your computer, living your miserable life, judging someone and speaking upon a topic you clearly know nothing about. Voice your opinion in person like a man, not a coward online. Grow a set. Prayers are with Quenton and his family. See ya around!
I know quentin and his family, and talk to one of them on a daily basis. So before you start talking like you are MR/MRS KNOWITALL, check your facts. Yea, thats it… i just get my facts online, how did you figure me out? you are pathetic. I know what i know from hearing it straight from quentin. What am i saying that is wrong? i never said that phil pulled the trigger. Plus, i have spoken to the dectectives directly, so why dont you get your facts in order before you open your mouth. I know more than you think… and its not from online. I know QUentin and his family personally. Quentin is like a brother, and we have known him for a VERY LONG TIME. It’s gross to think that you are in support of PHIL but want to speak quentins name in the same sentence. Again, the truth will come out in the trial, just wait and see. It’s funny how you want to preach like you know everything, you know nothing. Were you there by quentin’s side the night this happened? NO, we were. Were you there everyday in support of him… waiting for a doctor with an update… NO, we were. Have you shown your face in support of quentin, been by his side, gone to visit him? NO, we have. So before you even DARE and say i know nothing… shut your mouth.
The fact of the matter is actions speak louder than words…Philip is a career criminal and his record shows that. He does not belong in any community other than a gated one (jail or prison). Just because he was released does not mean anything. A trial has to take place for the other suspects and more information will be forthcoming.
So, RDJ, I feel the same way now as I did prior to his release with no regrets. As for the BS you wrote…keep it. Phil will only be out for a short while. Leopards can not change their spots. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Quentin.
Message to Philip: The Residents of Waltman Road and Cardiff Circle are watching you. No one wants you in the community. Do us all a favor and move out or just STAY in your mother’s house and don’t come out at all because you’ve already helped to mess up all of our property values and alter someone’s life forever.
AMEN @ Whatever
I couldn’t have said it better myself. once a criminal always a criminal. He won’t change, if he isnt charged for this crime… he’ll get popped for something else. He doesn’t deserve do experience the freedom as us law abiding citzens get to. He deserves to be in jail. Karma will come back around, and it wont be long til he screws up again.
He and his pals changed a man’s life forever. That man is still fighting to be able to walk, move his arms… everything. It’s disgusting that these individuals decided they had the right to attempt to take someone’s life. I hope they all rot in jail for the rest of their lives.
JUSTICE FOR QUENTIN! May he have a fast and speedy full recovery. We are all praying for you everyday!
