In the early hours of May 1, 2020, Anthony Tayvon McNeil, 24, of Baltimore was found in a Columbia parking lot near Governor Warfield Parkway and Twin Rivers Road with multiple gunshot wounds. Howard County police responded about 12:15 a.m. after reports of a fight involving several people and shots fired. McNeil was taken to Howard County General Hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Investigators concluded the shooting was not random and traced it to a verbal altercation earlier that evening between acquaintances of McNeil and another man, identified as Jerome Tyrell Thomas. Surveillance footage collected from the area helped detectives identify Thomas as the primary suspect. Thomas fled the state but was located and taken into custody on May 15, 2020, at a motel in Annapolis and charged with first-degree murder, first-degree assault, reckless endangerment, and firearm offenses.

Did anyone in the area that night see the confrontation or have information about what led to the shooting?
