Whitney Nichelle Hoover was fatally shot in the early hours of May 14, 2022, after a night out in Whitemarsh, Maryland. She was 27 and the mother of a young son; she worked in the loan and mortgage department at MVB Bank. Hoover was a passenger in a white BMW on Philadelphia Road when that vehicle encountered a light-gray Toyota. According to the BMW driver, the Toyota repeatedly brake-checked them for about two miles. When the BMW driver attempted to pass, a single gunshot struck Hoover. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Baltimore County police focused their investigation on the Toyota’s driver. On May 20, 2022, they arrested 18-year-old Justin D. Allen of Rosedale and charged him with first-degree murder, saying surveillance footage and a cell phone number linked him to the scene. A judge ordered him held without bail.

If anyone knew Whitney, saw the vehicles that night, or has information about what happened on Philadelphia Road, please share what is known.
