Man Sentenced After Firing 10 Rounds From Glock 43X

ABERDEEN, MD — A 27-year-old Aberdeen man has been sentenced to prison after being convicted by a jury of firing 10 rounds from a gun in the 100 block of New County Road in Aberdeen.

The incident happened Oct. 18, 2023. No witnesses or victims came forward and the case went cold. In the summer of 2024, a detective received a ballistics lead that identified a possible suspect as Alexander Maszkiewicz. The detective was able to locate the Glock 43X used in the shooting and charge Maszkiewicz in relation to the shooting.

During his three-day trial, the jury deliberated for 90 minutes and returned a guilty verdict on all charges, including illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, handgun on a person and reckless endangerment.

Maszkiewicz was sentenced Dec. 22 to 25 years of incarceration, suspending all but 18 years.

“This case underscores the dedication of local law enforcement and further reinforces my office’s ongoing commitment and collaborative approach with law enforcement to investigate, charge, and convict violent offenders. Our focus continues to be protecting the citizens of Harford County by holding violent offenders accountable, even when cases begin with few leads," said State’s Attorney Alison M. Healey following the sentencing.
