In the winter of 2017, the life of Lance Chaz Dixon, a 25-year-old male, was tragically cut short in Essex, Maryland. On the evening of December 8th, events unfolded in the 900 block of Ashbridge Drive that would end in violence. Witnesses in the area later recounted hearing a heated argument taking place just before the sound of gunfire shattered the night's quiet.
Responding to reports of the shooting, Baltimore County police officers arrived at the scene to find Dixon suffering from
multiple gunshot wounds. He was immediately transported to a local hospital in a desperate attempt to save his life, but his injuries proved to be too severe, and he was pronounced dead. The investigation into his murder began that night, with detectives piecing together the moments leading up to the fatal encounter.
According to a neighbor who witnessed a portion of the events, four men were seen arguing outside of a residence shortly before the gunshots rang out. In the immediate aftermath, three of the men were seen fleeing the area, leaving Dixon behind. Despite descriptions of these individuals being provided to the authorities, no arrests have been made in the years following the incident.
The case of Lance Chaz Dixon's murder remains unsolved. The Baltimore County Police Department continues to seek information from the public that might lead to a breakthrough in the investigation. To encourage potential witnesses to come forward, a cash reward is being offered through Metro Crime Stoppers for any tip that leads to the arrest and charging of a suspect. The authorities remain hopeful that someone with knowledge of the crime will step forward and help bring a measure of justice to Dixon and his family.
