On the evening of March 5, 2017, a domestic argument in a Towson, Maryland home ended with a father dead and his son in custody. Devin Vallade, 46, was shot inside his Kirkwall Court residence after a dispute that began earlier in the day when his 19-year-old son, Devin Scott Vallade II, was involved in a car accident.

Despite the mother’s pleas, a single shot struck Devin Vallade in the upper body. The younger Vallade called 911 and surrendered to Baltimore County police; paramedics pronounced the father dead at the scene. Devin Scott Vallade II was charged with first- and second-degree murder and held without bail. Neighbors described the family as quiet and the son as polite and respectful. Has anyone in the Towson area seen signs of escalating conflict at the home before March 5, 2017?
