Update: One victim, 28-year-old Elijah Lamback, died a day later.
Original Story:
A blood trail runs through the parking lot of the Security Business Center in Woodlawn where one victim ran for cover from a shooter inside the M Azuz club.
Tatyana Brown says she was working as a bottle girl when the gun shots rang out.
“I’m not even sure who shot at who,” said Brown, “I just know that… the next thing you know, I seen somebody on the floor.”
“I heard one person was shot in the head. Did you see someone that was seriously hurt?” we asked her.
“Yes, I seen it full on,” she replied, “I was right next to it.”
Baltimore County police say they found two male victims with gunshot wounds at the scene, and three more found their own way to area hospitals for treatment.
Detectives later confirmed that only four people sustained wounds from the shooting, stating that one of the victims did not get shot.
Five injured in overnight shooting in Woodlawn
This latest incident came in the same strip mall where a mass shooting unfolded back in December of 2023 leaving one man dead.
That shooting unfolded in the parking lot outside a business called BBQ Tonite.
Owner Sonny Awan says these shootings are no longer isolated incidents.
“It’s just that overnight, I don’t understand what exactly… why this becomes a place where some crime like that happens and it’s been happening constantly,” said Awan, “It’s pretty norm, and that’s the saddest part.”
As a worker changed the locks, sealing up the club turned crime scene, Tatyana Brown tried to retrieve her purse and other belongings she left behind when the gun shots sent everyone running.
“It was a lot of shots going on,” recalled Brown, “It was definitely crazy. Definitely a traumatizing night. I didn’t expect that and my first night working there. It was traumatizing.”
*Editor's Note*
Baltimore County Police initially told WMAR-2 News that five people were wounded in the shooting in Woodlawn, but they later said detectives confirmed that only four people had sustained gunshot wounds. The article now reflects the updated information.
