Woodlawn Youth, 14, Charged In Shooting

A 14-year-old Woodlawn boy who was being sought in the shooting of a former schoolmate on New Year's Eve is in custody.

Tymaine D'Aren Sellman turned himself in at the Baltimore County Police Department's Woodlawn precinct Friday night. He was charged as an adult with attempted first-degree murder and was being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.

Sellman was wanted in the shooting of a 13-year-old acquaintance in an apartment building in the 6300 block of Monika Place, off Woodlawn Drive. Police said the victim was shot three times in the chest and once in the buttock, and that he told a paramedic in the ambulance on the way to Maryland Shock Trauma Center that his assailant was a boy he knew named Tymaine.

While the victim was in surgery, a detective interviewed his brother, who said that Tymaine had attended middle school with the victim. Earlier on the afternoon of the shooting, the brother said, Tymaine had called their home and asked to meet with the victim, according to a police report.

Police reached out to the public in their search for Sellman, who lives on Senta Court in Woodlawn. Investigators said they believed he was evading capture somewhere in Southwest Baltimore.

The initial call about the shooting came about 4 p.m. on New Year's Eve. When officers arrived, they found the younger boy lying in a hallway of the apartment building. He was treated at Shock Trauma and later released.
