The Maryland Office of the Attorney General identified the man who died following a medical crisis two hours after being released by Montgomery County police on Dec. 15, 2025 in Silver Spring.
Jamal Thompson, 31, of Silver Spring, was identified as the victim.
The officers involved, according to the attorney general’s office, are Officer Kevin Argueta, a 15-year veteran; Officer Kyle Conley, a six-year veteran; Officer Rebecca Davis, a six-year veteran; Officer Rachel Hopko, a 10-year veteran; Officer Kimorra Maier, a three-year veteran; Officer Maxie Weisz, an 11-year veteran; and Officer Colin Staszewski, who served one year on the force. All officers are assigned to the Patrol Division.
According to a preliminary investigation, the officers responded to a call for a person experiencing a mental episode. They placed the man in restraints and took him into custody for an emergency evaluation. He was taken by ambulance to a hospital by Montgomery County Emergency Medical Services, where he died about two hours later from a medical crisis.
The Independent Investigations Division (IID) of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General is investigating the circumstances and asking anyone with information about this incident, including those with cell phone communications or private surveillance video, to contact the IID at (410) 576-7070 or by email at IID@oag.maryland.gov.
Police officials issued a statement that they were “fully cooperating” with the investigation “and will hold comment until the conclusion of the investigation.”
The officers were equipped with body cameras, which recorded the incident. The video normally is released within 20 business days of an incident. However, the state attorney general’s office said there would be a delay.
“The delay in the release of the footage is the result of the need for additional time to conduct witness interviews,” state investigators announced.
