RANDALLSTOWN, Md. — A homicide investigation is underway in Randallstown.
On Saturday night, at 9:20 p.m., officers were called to the 8600 block of Lucerne Road for reports of shooting.
When they arrived, police located a man, 49-year-old Shawn Stewart, outside of a home suffering from a gunshot wound.
Stewart was taken to an area hospital, where he died.
“I saw the presence of police was so heavy that they had to block this end, and the other end and I had to pass through the other end here," said Jeremiah Bello, a neighbor.
Other neighbors say there was a cookout at the home where the shooting occurred.
One neighbor, who wants to remain anonymous, says the cookouts happen often, but she has never seen the crowd as large as the one Saturday night.
"Yesterday was a little different. I don’t know if it was something special going on, but they had a lot of people. If I had to guess, I would say there were at least between maybe 75 to 100 people," she said.
Baltimore County Police say there is little information so far. Currently, they do not have a person of interest or a motive.
“Officers are trying to determine if this was an isolated incident or a targeted incident, more information will be released once detectives finish their investigation. We just tell everyone to go about their lives as normal," said Baltimore County Police Detective Anthony Shelton.
Police encourage neighbors not to be scared; they say they don’t believe there is any threat to the neighborhood.
Anyone with information regarding this incident should contact police at 410-307-2020.
