On the night of April 3, 2026, Harford County deputies responded to a reported shooting near Grempler Way and Brookside Drive in Edgewood. Around 11:15 p.m. they found a 22-year-old man with gunshot wounds to his shoulder and neck; he was conscious, treated on scene, and taken to a Baltimore-area trauma center with injuries expected to be nonfatal.

Less than 1,000 feet away, in the 1900 block of Eloise Lane, deputies found 20-year-old Bryan H. Burrows Jr. lying in the roadway, unconscious and not breathing with a gunshot wound to his chest. Efforts by deputies and emergency medical personnel failed and Burrows was pronounced dead at the scene. His girlfriend described him as very kind-hearted, loving, and motivated.

Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division say the two victims were known to each other and that preliminary findings suggest they were not shooting at each other. Several other people were present during the incident, though not all were directly involved. The investigation remains active and no arrests have been announced.
