CAMBRIDGE, Md. — The Maryland Attorney General’s Office has released body camera footage from a fatal police shooting in Cambridge in September.
According to the Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division, which investigates fatal police encounters across the state, officers arrived near Seaway Lane and Riverview Wharf after receiving reports of a man chasing a woman in the Deep Harbor development.

Upon arrival, the officers found 30-year-old Ryan Garcy holding a knife.
Footage from Cpl. Jacob Weber ’s body camera shows him driving up to the scene, getting out of his car and ordering Garcy to drop the knife he was holding.
“Will you just… shoot me?” Garcy asked the officers as he stood naked in the road, surrounded by police.
When Garcy did not drop the knife, officers used a Taser, which proved ineffective. He began shouting and ran toward Weber, who started to run away, then turned and fired what sounded like five rounds.
Garcy fell to the ground, moaning, as officers rushed over to render aid.
Emergency medical services arrived shortly after and took Garcy to University of Maryland Shore Medical Center at Cambridge. He was then flown to TidalHealth Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury , where he was pronounced dead.
The Independent Investigations Division is still investigating and urges anyone with information about the incident to contact investigators at 410-576-7070 or by email at @mmmschumer on X.
