WINDSOR MILL, Md. — A 15-year-old is dead after a shooting this weekend.

"That’s sad to hear though. But, unfortunately, not surprising," said Glenda Lowery, a Windsor Mill resident.

Lowery has lived in this area for more than twenty years.

When we told her a teen died in a shooting just up the street, it was tough news to take in.

"I'm out here walking my dog all the time, so... you never know what you're going to come across," said Lowery.

Down the way on Shadwell Court on Saturday night, police found a 15-year-old boy, who is identified as Lamar Leslie-Allen, with a gunshot wound.

First responders rushed him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

"I was heading into work, and I just saw the cautionary tape put up by the police." said Michael Reeve, a Milford Mill resident.

Reeve says he caught some of the scene last night.

He said he has real concerns for safety.

"It’s happened before, and the sad thing is it shouldn't be," said Reeve.

The shooting also has the attention of County Executive Johnny Olszewski.

“We refuse to normalize this violence and expect the perpetrator will be held accountable,” said Olszewski.

Baltimore County Police Detective Trae Corbin said they’re still in the early stages, and couldn't comment on a motive or a suspect.

But he reassured that they’re working hard to figure out who did this.

“Any teenager that loses their life to gun violence is a problem,” said Corbin. “Baltimore County will not tolerate any crime. Anybody that is responsible for this crime, we will find them.”

Anyone with information regarding this incident should contact detectives at 410-307-2020 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
