Allison Faye McIntyre, 59, was found shot inside her car in the parking lot of the Annapolis Marketplace on Forest Drive on October 3, 2024. Police responding to reports of gunfire discovered McIntyre in her gray Honda at the busy Safeway lot; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Surveillance footage from a nearby Annapolis City transit bus showed a woman later identified as 49-year-old Monet Thompson get into the passenger side of McIntyre’s car. The vehicle moved, then braked abruptly; the woman exited and fled in a blue Toyota Camry. McIntyre’s daughter said her mother had been on the phone and mentioned going to get gas for Thompson’s allegedly broken-down car before the call ended with a reference to gunshots.

Thompson was arrested after an arrest warrant and charged with first- and second-degree murder and assault; she was being held without bond. Investigators say the shooting did not appear random, and McIntyre had been Thompson’s mental health counselor at Arundel Lodge. Anyone who knew McIntyre, Thompson, or saw vehicles in the Annapolis Marketplace lot that evening is asked to share information.
