OWINGS MILLS, Md. — A man has been stabbed to death on Reisterstown Road near Owings Mills Boulevard in Owings Mills.

People say the victim was a familiar laundromat volunteer. He was helping a female customer when a man walked up to the woman and began pestering her.

The victim immediately stepped to the woman's defense and told the man to get away. Soon after, witnesses say the suspect returned with two knives and began stabbing the victim.

"He stabbed this guy about 10-15 times in less than two minutes," said Ranjie Bryan, witness.

Bryan said he came to wash his clothes, but in a blink of an eye, he was at a murder scene.

"I saw him getting stabbed. I saw all the blood. I saw gashing. I saw the lady trying to hold pressure to his neck. No one deserves to die like that," said Bryan.

Those who knew the victim describe him as a kind soul who would always lend a helping hand.

"Who would really have the guts to hurt this man. I can honestly say he was a gentle giant," said Margaret Randall, friend of the victim.

It happened at the Owings Mills Laundromat, which was roped off with crime scene tape.

Baltimore County police said they're on the scene of a stabbing on Reisterstown Road, just north of the Owings Mills Boulevard intersection.

Police believe this is an isolated incident, and they have caught the suspect.
