White Plains resident James Fred Coffen, 45, is facing multiple murder charges following a shooting shortly after midnight that killed two people following a bar fight at Jimmie's Paddock.

Mariah Termetrice Logan, 27, of Waldorf, and Indian Head resident Paul Ernest Fleming, 36, have been identified by the Charles County Sheriff's Office as the two people who were shot and killed on Friday, Sept. 29 in White Plains.

Investigators say that there was an altercation inside the building that spilled outside, with both Fleming and Coffen leaving the business, at which point gunshots rang out.

Fleming was struck outside Jimmie's Paddock, and one of the stray bullets entered the business and hit Logan, who was inside.

Both were treated and rushed to area hospitals by first responders, where they both died of their injuries. 

Coffen was charged with first- second-degree murder, and other offenses. He's being held at the Charles County Detention Center pending his next court appearance.
