Detectives are currently working to identify and locate a suspect in the shooting.

The possibility of the shooting stemming from a road rage incident is being investigated, but police are also exploring other motives, according to Director Lepola-Stewart.

Police believe there was one person in each vehicle at the time of the shooting, but it is not yet known if the victim returned fire.

Director Lepola-Stewart said Towson residents should expect a heavy police presence in the area as events continue this evening.

Dozens still attended the concert on Pennsylvania Avenue to shop, eat and enjoy.

Officials say they're working to do everything they can to make the area safe.

"We're an extremely resilient community, and we work together, and if you come here, you commit a crime, we work very closely with our police department," said Nancy Hafford, Executive Director of the Towson Chamber of Commerce. "Almost all of our businesses have cameras. If you come here, they will catch you, and they will prosecute you."
