The same officer Justin Lee, a MAGA Trump supporter, was suspended without pay in October of 2023 for his involvement in the J6 attack on the Capitol. Officer Lee was documented to attack other police officers during the J6 event. Story also linked below. He was arrested, not for the murder of Ordonez, but for his prior involvement in January 6 in D.C. Arrested on Thursday, Oct. 19. 2023.
A release from the D.C. United States attorney’s office said that Lee, who is from Rockville, Md., was facing “felony offenses of civil disorder and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers” as well as several other misdemeanor offenses. He was facing a total of seven counts, according to his federal indictment.
It is unclear why he was allowed back on the beat after storming the Capitol but because he was sent back to work undisciplined, Franklin Castro Ordonez died.

County : Baltimore
State : Maryland
Agency : Baltimore County PD
Officer(s) : Det. J. Trenary
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Shot to death while being served warrants

On January 31, 2023, shortly after 6 a.m., Baltimore County PD attempted to arrest Brian McCourry for unknown warrants.

McCourry was taken to the hospital in critical condition where he died a month later. No BWC footage exists because for unclear reasons, Baltimore County Police Department’s Criminal Apprehension Support Team does not have them and also does not have dashcam cameras, leaving the public without choice but to trust statements by police only without public ability of independent verification of police reports. No officers were charged.
