Patrick Dailey, 52, a Senior Deputy with the Harford County Sheriff’s Office and a 30-year veteran of the force, was shot and killed inside a Panera Bread on Merchant Boulevard in Abingdon, Maryland, on February 10, 2016. Dailey, a former Marine, father of two and an active member of the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company, was months away from planned retirement when he located 68-year-old David Brian Evans on a midday call about a man with outstanding warrants.

According to witnesses, Dailey spoke with Evans at a table; Evans then produced a handgun and fatally shot Dailey in the head. Evans fled, and during the ensuing response he also shot and killed Senior Deputy Mark Logsdon in a nearby shootout. Responding deputies returned fire and killed Evans at the scene. Evans reportedly had outstanding warrants in Harford County and Florida and a history of emotional problems and heavy drinking, and the call to police was reportedly made by his estranged wife.

If anyone was in or near that Panera Bread that day and saw what happened or remembers Evans before the shootings, please share what you know.
