Burglar killed by homeowner

March 30, 2010 By Kevin Dayhoff for Soundtrack

Baltimore County police have identified Marvin Cook Jr., 29, with an unknown address, as the burglar who was fatally shot while attempting to rob a homeowner at 6:30 in the morning in the 4200-block of Chapel Road near White Marsh late last week.

According to a Baltimore County police report, the cops arrived at the home of William Bozman Sr., 68, after they had received a call for “a person shot at the home.”

When police arrived on the scene, Cook was found to be suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Detectives report that the homeowner was awakened by the suspect who had entered his bedroom and was pointing a gun at Bozman and demanding money.

Instead of handing over money, Bozman got out a nearby handgun and ordered the suspect to drop his weapon.

However, Cook advanced towards the homeowner who thereupon fired several shots. The suspect “landed on top of Bozman who was able to free himself and called police,” according to officials.

Cook was transported to Franklin Square Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

At this time, police say no charges have been filed against Bozman at this time.
