Officers were alerted of a shooting inside of the basement business around 2:30 a.m., Sunday, Sept. 25. Once on the scene, nearly 100 people were seen scattering from the business, with one bleeding victim trying to get away and another in the doorway, according to Anne Arundel County police.
The crowd actively impeded officers attempts to enter the business to help the victim in the doorway, leaving officers having to form a line to push the crowd back.
Once officers were able to get to the victim in the doorway, it was too late, and the victim, identified as Alexander Leon Gray Jr., 38, was pronounced dead.
The victim found bleeding in the parking lot was rushed to a nearby trauma center.
This is an active and ongoing investigation. Anne Arundel County Police Homicide Detectives ask that anyone with information contact 410-222-4731. Callers wishing to remain anonymous are encouraged to call the Anne Arundel County Police Tip Line at 410-222-4700.
