In the early hours of June 14, 2021, a shooting in a Gwynn Oak parking lot left 30-year-old Darrin Barnes dead and a woman seriously wounded. Barnes and his female companion were shot just after midnight in the BJ Mallards parking lot on Ingleside Avenue and were taken to a nearby hospital; Barnes later died of his injuries.

Baltimore County Police investigators quickly developed the case and within weeks arrested two men. Jamell Smith, 32, and Michael J. Curry, 40, were charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder and held without bond. Police said the shooting was not random and that Smith and Curry allegedly conspired to kill Barnes in retaliation for a dispute several days earlier.

Are there readers who remember activity in the BJ Mallards parking lot that night or saw anything in the days before the shooting that might shed light on the dispute?
