On October 1, 2019, a domestic disturbance at a home on Marriottsville Road in Marriottsville, Maryland, resulted in the death of 38-year-old Stephen Michael Tucker. During a subsequent confrontation, 68-year-old Stephen Dwight Tucker shot his son; officers found Stephen Michael Tucker deceased and his father with visible injuries.

Court filings and reporting note that Stephen Michael Tucker had a long history of drug addiction that had strained family relationships. The elder Tucker asserted he acted in self-defense and the case was investigated by the Howard County Police and reviewed by the State’s Attorney’s Office.

Did anyone in the Marriottsville community have contact with the Tucker family around that time or information about the incidents earlier that day?
