UPDATE 9/20/23:
Quantze Davis, 28, of Baltimore City, plead guilty to three counts of First Degree Rape in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County. No sentencing date has been scheduled. Prosecutors are seeking a life sentence.
ORIGINAL STORY 2/2/23:
Charging documents reveal how police identified a man that allegedly robbed and sexually assaulted three women at gunpoint in Towson last Thursday.
Police say the victims were walking on Allegheny Avenue towards a restaurant to meet with friends, when they were approached by a man who pulled a gun and demanded money.
Despite one victim giving him cash, the gunman ordered the women to walk in a line near a dumpster behind some businesses on W. Joppa Road.
Under the threat of being shot, the victims were made to get on their knees at which point each was sexually assaulted.
Two people passing by saw what was happening but were chased off by the armed suspect. They ended up running away and calling 911.

After forcing the victims to count out loud to 100, the suspect fled. Police arrived soon after.
While combing through area surveillance investigators noticed a man matching the suspect's description, entering a nearby business just 20 minutes before the assaults occurred.
Detectives were able to obtain a store receipt which showed a purchase made through an Apple Pay credit card.
The credit company gave investigators the card information which happened to be linked to an Uber membership and iCloud account belonging to Quantze Davis.
Police compared past arrest photos of Davis with the man seen making purchases at the store, and determined they were the same person.
DNA recovered at the scene also matched with Davis, according to prosecutors.
Investigators later charged him with several crimes including three counts of armed robbery and first degree rape.
At the time of his arrest, Davis was in possession of a .38 caliber handgun and wearing the same clothes he was seen in the night of the attacks.
Court records show Davis was prohibited from possessing a firearm as result of a November 2021 handgun conviction in Anne Arundel County. He received a three-year jail sentence with all but 10 days of it suspended.
The Baltimore County States Attorneys Office is seeking a life sentence.
