Police Identify Man Accused Of Raping Woman, Fleeing From Cops

GAITHERSBURG, MD — Authorities say they've identified the man who had turned himself in after fleeing from police Thursday.

Twon Dominique Kelly, 25, of an undetermined address, is accused of raping a woman at a house party last month in Gaithersburg. He has been charged with second-degree rape and assault, according to Montgomery County police.

After speaking with the woman and identifying Kelly as the suspect, police tried to serve him an arrest warrant Thursday in Gaithersburg's downtown Crown area. He, however, managed to flee on foot.

Additional officers, including officers from the Gaithersburg Police Department, responded and combed the area for Kelly.

He later turned himself in, police said.

After Kelly was arrested, police said they found a gun under a doormat in the apartment building where they think Kelly had fled earlier on Thursday. Detectives are working to determine if there is a connection between Kelly and the gun.
