Security footage from a nearby business appears to show the moments leading up to a fiery car crash and mass shooting Tuesday night outside a funeral home in Towson that left one person dead.

The footage, reviewed by The Banner, shows a vehicle speeding down a road and crashing through a street light pole. There is a bright flash of light and the vehicles comes to a stop just outside a building.

Moments later, another smaller vehicle pulls up and multiple people appear to get out of it. The video then shows several bright flashes.

One person appears to run up to the vehicle that crashed, but it is unclear from the video what the person does before running back to the sedan. The people get back into the car, which then backs up and drives away.

Eight people remain hospitalized after the shooting and crash, Baltimore County Police said Wednesday.

The deceased was identified as 26-year-old Charles Graham Jr. of Baltimore.

Eight people had apparent gunshot wounds, most of them teenagers: a 14-year-old boy, a 15-year-old girl, a 16-year-old boy, a 17-year-old boy, a 17-year-old girl and two 18-year-old boys. The eighth gunshot wound victim was identified as a 27-year-old man. A ninth person, a 24-year-old man, was injured but not shot, police said.

Police said one victim has been released from the hospital but did not identify them.

“The search for those responsible continues,” Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.

Police officers from the Towson Precinct responded to the 8500 block of Loch Raven Boulevard after “multiple” reports of gunshots. When they arrived around 7:15 Tuesday night, they discovered a vehicle on its side and engulfed in flames.

They also found 10 people with injuries, including one who was pronounced dead at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound.

All the injured people, including Graham, are believed to have been in the same vehicle, McCullough said.

Police said on Wednesday they do not have any suspects in custody in connection with the shooting.

Detectives worked overnight at the scene, police said, attempting to recreate a timeline of the event.

McCullough said the shooting was not connected to any funeral held at the Johnson-Fosbrink Funeral Home, where the vehicle crashed.

By Wednesday morning, most evidence of the crime scene had disappeared from outside the funeral home.

The smell of smoke still hung in the air and there were apparent scorch marks on the side of the building as a few men worked on cleaning up the area — though there was no crime scene tape marking anything off.

The men declined to comment, except for saying the shooting had “nothing to do with” the funeral home. They worked to spray dirt off sidewalks and collect debris left from the fiery crash.

“Luckily, none of us were in the building. It had nothing to do with the funeral home, and we are open for business,” said the receptionist of Johnson-Fosbrink Funeral Home, where the car crashed. “We just are keeping the doors locked at all times now.”

Houlimata Anne, the co-owner of Ouil’s Hair Braiding on Loch Raven Boulevard, learned about the shooting and car crash from her daughter.

She even had a client reach out to ask if they were safe.

Luckily for Anne, the shop was closed by the time last night’s chaos unfolded. 

“It’s scary because we never had that kind of problem here before,” said Anne, who’s been in her shop for four years and living in Pleasant Plains for seven years.

To protect herself, other employees and their clients, she’s keeping the doors to her business locked, and an employee will let guests. They will still accept walk-ins, Anne said.

Police said the incident appeared to be targeted and isolated within that group of people, and that there was no threat to the general public.

McCullough said Wednesday afternoon that there may be a connection between Tuesday’s shooting and the recent death of 19-year-old Andrew Blessing, who was killed nearby.

“At this point, nothing has been ruled out. We are taking a look at all serious crimes that have occurred in that area,” he said. “There was also a question about retaliation. Right now we’re taking and considering the whole situation in terms of retaliation and dealing with that.”

McCullough said the victims all know each other, and may have known Blessing and his family. He declined to identify suspects and did not know how may guns were used in the shooting. He said it was not confirmed whether the incident was “gang related,” but there appears to be “some rival individuals” in this case.

He declined to say whether the victims in the van or SUV, and those in the sedan, exchanged gunfire or if shots were fired only one way.

County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. said last night these types of incidents are “unheard of” in Baltimore County and said the shooting “shocks the conscience.”

On Wednesday, Olszewski reiterated the county government’s support for the police department and he wants to make sure the community is safe and feels safe, too.

Councilman Mike Ertel, who represents the area on the County Council, called the shooting an “isolated incident” and said it was not “indicative of a larger picture of the Loch Raven area.”

Baltimore County officials denied a public information act request for audio of 911 calls related to the shooting, citing an ongoing investigation.

Police have asked anyone with information about the shooting to call 410-887-4636 (INFO). Information may also be provided anonymously by contacting Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-756-2587 (7LOCKUP).
