Bodycam Video Shows Officers Open Fire on Carjacking Suspect

Police say the driver was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound after allegedly carjacking a vehicle, crashing and driving toward officers.

  • On Monday, the Anne Arundel County Police Department released body-worn camera footage from a May 7, 2026, officer-involved shooting in Severn involving Jasmin Cooper, 28, following an alleged carjacking.
  • The incident began May 7 when officers responded to a hit-and-run crash in Glen Burnie. Investigators say Cooper crashed into a vehicle and forcibly took a relative's car before police located her in the 8500 block of Pioneer Drive in Severn.
  • Body-Worn camera footage shows officers surrounding the vehicle and demanding Cooper exit. Police reported Cooper drove toward officers, striking one officer and two patrol cars, prompting Corporal L. Hylton and Officer N. Watson to discharge their firearms.
  • Following the shooting, Cooper was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound while the struck officer received treatment for minor injuries. Authorities took her into custody after she crashed at the intersection of Reece Road and Telegraph Road.
  • Charges against Cooper include carjacking, reckless endangerment, and assault, with a court date scheduled for September 25, 2026. The Anne Arundel County Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division continues investigating the shooting.
