On the evening of December 4, 2020, 20-year-old Anthony Patterson of Owings Mills was fatally shot in the Mall in Columbia parking area in front of the Main Event. Patterson and friends had been at an entertainment venue in Columbia; a brief verbal argument between Patterson and 29-year-old Charles Thomas Busey preceded the shooting. As Patterson and his friends were leaving in a vehicle, 17-year-old Angelo Deans opened fire on their car.

Patterson was struck and killed around 10:23 p.m. after additional shots were fired; Deans then got into a vehicle driven by Busey and the two fled the scene. Police later located the suspects in Washington, D.C., and charged Deans as an adult with first- and second-degree murder, assault, and related counts, while Busey was charged as an accessory after the fact to first- and second-degree murder. Both men later entered guilty pleas; Busey received a 10-year prison sentence.
