At least one suspect remains at large.

Montgomery County Police charged Alex D. Harris, 19, of an unconfirmed address in Washington, D.C., and Traimne M. Allen, 26, of an unknown address, with conspiracy to commit armed robbery, two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of first-degree assault.

They are being held without bond at the Montgomery County Detention Center in Rockville.

Police also charged Lazoya S. King, 21, Shavon M. Jackson, 20, and Chanel A. Fletcher, 16, all of unconfirmed addresses in Washington, D.C., with armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.

Fletcher and Jackson are being held on $250,000 bond and King is held on $25,000 bond, police reported.

Preliminary hearings are set for Harris, Allen, King and Jackson on July 24. The preliminary hearing for Fletcher is set for Thursday.

Montgomery County Police spokeswoman Lucille Baur said around 2:10 a.m. on June 24, 1st District police conducting surveillance in the area of the 400 block of Elmcroft Boulevard in Rockville saw a man and the three women get out of a black Hyundai and go into an apartment.

As the group entered, police saw a group of three masked men get out of a green Buick LeSabre and run into the same apartment, Baur said.

The three women left the apartment and then several gunshots were fired inside, Baur said. The three masked men fled on foot, she said.

Police saw Harris, one of the masked men, toss a gun away as he ran, but was quickly caught, Baur said. He had stolen property with him at the time, she said.

The three women were arrested at the scene as well.

Allen, the second of the three masked men, was found and taken into custody Thursday, police said.

The two injured victims were taken to an area hospital. One, a 23-year-old man, was shot in the upper body, police said. He remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition and is expected to survive.

The other, a 29-year-old man, was stabbed in the arm and was released from the hospital, police said.

A third man was inside the apartment at the time of the attack but hid and escaped injury, police said.

It was unclear Monday afternoon if either of the two injured victims was the man who entered the apartment with the three women.

Police said the three women conspired with the three masked men to rob the victims who were shot and stabbed.

The investigation to identify the third masked man continues, police said.
