In the March 2011 incident, detectives Michael Rice, Daniel Hersl and Latosha Tinsley saw Gough riding a bicycle near E. 25th Street and Harford Road and thought it odd that he was wearing a leather jacket on what was a warm evening, according to the state's attorney's office.
The detectives also noticed that Gough was using just one hand to steer while keeping the other by his side and suspected that he was carrying a gun, prosecutors said.
As the detectives got out of their unmarked car, Gough opened fire hitting Rice between his neck and shoulder. Hersl and Tinsley shot back, wounding Gough, prosecutors said.
