The shooting happened at around 12:25 a.m. in the 1000 block of Foxcroft Lane when officers arrived to find one man dead in front of a home and another in critical condition. The man that was in critical condition was taken to Franklin Square Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead by medics.

Police learned that the shooting death of the two victims, 26-year-old Cameron Stenhouse and 34-year-old Dennis Vasquez, was a result of a drug deal gone wrong.

Powell was arrested Tuesday evening and is held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center following a bail review hearing.
