Charles Edward Watson Jr., 46, was shot and killed on July 4, 2017, in the 1000 block of South Beechfield Avenue in the Arbutus area of Baltimore County. He had been visiting his girlfriend when an argument began with 27-year-old Raymond Vladas Armalis Jr. Shortly before 8 p.m., Armalis allegedly went into the residence, retrieved a handgun, returned outside, and shot Watson at least once in the upper body. Neighbors called 911; first responders gave aid and Watson was taken to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

Armalis was arrested at the scene without incident and was charged with first- and second-degree murder and held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center. Police said the argument between the two men was the reason for the shooting. Did anyone in the Arbutus area witness the dispute or the moments before it escalated?
