Brian Michael Delen, 47, allegedly got into a heated disagreement overnight at the English Country Manor condominiums that rapidly escalated until he pulled out a handgun and began firing overnight.
The incident was reported at around 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday night in the 600 block of Churchill Road in Bel Air.
Upon arrival, members of the Bel Air Police Department found that the two had gotten into an argument in the parking lot of the complex during which Delen allegedly shot the woman in the chest.
She was treated by paramedics but later died less than an hour later at the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center. Her ID is being held until the family learns of her death.
Delen was arrested without further incident and charged with second-degree murder, first-degree assault, and using a firearm in the commission of a felony.
He is being held pending his initial bond review.
Now, members of the department are asking for witnesses or residence who may have information about the fatal shooting to contact Sgt. Henry Marchesani by emailing hmarchesani@belairmd.org or Cpl Sam Vivino at svivino@belairmd.org.
