Larry James Simpson, 68, is set to appear in Prince George\u2019s County court Monday after police say he carjacked two vehicles and fired shots at multiple people on Friday, local media reported. Simpson was previously sentenced to life plus 40 years\u00a0in 1987 for first-degree murder, according to The Washington Post \u2014 but released sometime after a health evaluation for unspecified reasons, according to .\u00a0(RELATED: DA Said Gunman Needed Heavy Sentence And Judge Didn\u2019t Listen \u2014 Guess What He\u2019s Charged With Now)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simpson reportedly faces 66 charges in the Friday rampage, including 32 attempted murder counts. State court records do not yet list his current case or an attorney. His name also did not appear in the state\u2019s inmate database at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

The repeat arrestee appeared to receive an \u201cin-custody evaluation\u201d from the Maryland Department of Health in 2022 and a one-year term of unsupervised probation, court records show. The department did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n

Simpson was also convicted of robbery with a deadly weapon and assault in the 1987 murder case \u2014 and pleaded guilty to in a separate 1987 case.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An off-duty Prince George\u2019s County cop began tailing Simpson on Friday after allegedly seeing him carjack someone\u2019s vehicle, WUSA9 reported. In a series of incidents at five locations, Simpson allegedly pointed a long gun out of a car window and fired several shots, caused a 64-year-old man to be cut with glass in another shooting, crashed into someone\u2019s car, carjacked another car and critically injured someone in another shooting. FOX5 reported. Simpson is also accused of another carjacking shortly after and shooting the owner, and he was arrested after allegedly attempting yet another carjacking.<\/p>\n

Police found an AR-15-style rifle at the scene of Simpson\u2019s arrest, FOX5 reported. The investigation is ongoing and may result in more charges.<\/p>\n
