On March 4 around 2:35 p.m., officers responded to the 3900 block of Hollins Ferry Road for a report of a shooting.
Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough said that the victim was standing in front of a liquor store in the shopping center when the gunman jumped out of a car, and began shooting.
Police say the victim was attempting to flee when he was shot and fell to the ground.
Authorities say that is when the gunman walked over the victim and shot him before fleeing the scene in a vehicle driven by someone else.
Police said the victim was taken to an area hospital, but succumbed to his injuries.
McCullough did not provide details about the suspect on Tuesday, but did say they "appeared to be a younger individual" and that the shooting was an isolated, targeted incident.
Baltimore County Police say they have questioned several people in connection to the shooting, but have not filed charges yet.
Baltimore County Council member Pat Young said there have been previous issues in the area where the strip mall is located. While he couldn't disclose details, he said County leaders were already working to address them.
When it comes to addressing violence, Young, who also plans to run for Baltimore County Executive, said it is important to better engage teens and kids, and provide additional opportunities for them to get involved. He said he wants to ensure the school system has the resources it needs to continue addressing truancy and to support students. He continued saying he wants to ensure the police department has the proper resources. Young further stated that he was engaging with agencies and stakeholders across the County to find other solutions to address violence, following this shooting.
"My heart goes out to the family, because at the end of the day, you know, there's a family that's grieving the death of a son at the moment, regardless of what he was involved in,' Young said. "And the other tragedy is that this was completely preventable."
