Millionaire Philanthropist Found Shot Dead at Assisted Living Facility in Maryland
An investigation is underway after a millionaire philanthropist was found shot dead at his senior assisted living facility in Maryland.
On Valentine’s Day, Robert Fuller, 87, was found dead with a gunshot wound in his apartment at the Cogir Potomac Senior Living facility in Potomac, Maryland.
The Montgomery County Department of Police is investigating his death as a homicide, but gave no information on whether Fuller’s killer was from the inside of the facility or the outside.
Detectives handling the case further added, Fuller was “taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for autopsy to determine cause and manner of death.”
Whoa. Fuller was also a big Republican donor in Maine. https://t.co/JLVUhBH9wk

Police are investigating after a millionaire philanthropist was shot dead at a senior living facility in Maryland.
On Saturday, Feb. 14 at approximately 7:34 a.m. local time, the Montgomery County Department of Police and Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service officers “responded to the Cogir Potomac Senior Living facility in the 10800 block of Potomac Tennis Lane for a reported code,” per a news release.
First responders then located 87-year-old Robert Fuller, Jr. “unresponsive inside an apartment within the senior living facility,” the release stated.
Police said, “Life-saving measures were attempted, but he was pronounced dead at the scene,” adding that officers at the scene “observed that Fuller had trauma to the head and Major Crimes was notified.”
In a statement, the Cogir Potomac Senior Living Facility sent a memo to residents that reads, “This was an isolated incident, and there is no ongoing threat to residents or staff. ”
The memo continues, “Out of an abundance of caution, we have strengthened our safety measures and brought in additional security presence to provide extra reassurance for our residents and families.”
Fuller leaves behind a legacy as a generous giver.
The retired Navy Reserve officer and lawyer donated millions to several community organizations in the City of Augusta, Maine, where he previously resided.
His donations included $1.64 million to Cony High School in Augusta and other big donations to local hospitals and historical societies.
Robert Fuller was also the great-great-grandnephew of Supreme Court Justice Melville Fuller, who presided over Plessy v. Ferguson.
