On December 12, 2006, 22-year-old Lisa Laverne Brown and her 9-month-old daughter Labria Fogle were found shot to death in an upstairs bedroom of a boarding house on Engleman Drive in Laurel, Maryland. A resident reported hearing gunshots; there were no signs of forced entry, and investigators concluded the victims were targeted.

In the days before the killings, Brown had obtained a temporary peace order against Lawrence Banks, also known as Malik Samartaney, after a verbal dispute about Banks’s disapproval of Brown’s mother babysitting Labria. Deputies attempted to serve Banks with the order but never did. Police focused on Banks as a person of interest; he was arrested shortly after the murders on a parole violation, and his prior convictions from 1991 were noted. Authorities did not have enough evidence to charge anyone in the double homicide, and the deaths remain unsolved.

If anyone knew Lisa, Labria, their movements that week, or has information about who might have been responsible, please come forward.
