$15,000 reward offered in unsolved 2009 killing of Towson University student in Baltimore County

The parents of a Maryland college student remain hopeful that someone will come forward with information about the person who killed their son in 2009. 

Daniel Covertson was shot on Valentine's Day 17 years ago in Baltimore County. He was found dead in his off-campus apartment located in the 7000 block of Lachlan Circle in Towson, according to police. 

At the time, Covertson was recovering from a recent retinal eye surgery, and his doctor had ordered him to rest lying face down. In doing so, he left his apartment door unlocked for friends to check on him periodically.

He was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head on Feb. 14, 2009, around 2:50 p.m., according to police.

The family of Covertson hopes someone who attended Towson University will come forward with information that could help detectives solve the case. 

Despite how insignificant a person may think their tip is, police are urging anyone with information to contact the Baltimore County Police Homicide detectives at 410-307-2020. Callers may remain anonymous.  

According to the Metro Crime Stoppers of Maryland, a $15,000 reward will be offered to those who contact Metro Crime Stoppers of Maryland with information leading to the arrest and prosecution of Covertson's murderer.
