On a Sunday afternoon in May, the quiet of a Dundalk, Maryland neighborhood was broken by a grim discovery that left a community in shock. On May 18, 2025, 42-year-old April Nadeau, a female resident of the area, was found lifeless in a detached garage. The garage, located on the 7400 block of School Avenue, became the scene of a heartbreaking tragedy when police responded to a call for service shortly after 2:00 p.m.
Inside, they found not one, but two victims.
Alongside April Nadeau was 43-year-old Timothy Brinegar; both had been fatally shot. First responders arrived at the scene, but it was too late. Both April and Timothy were pronounced dead inside the garage. The Baltimore County Police Department's homicide unit was called in to take over the investigation. They treated the deaths as a double homicide, carefully securing the area to preserve any potential evidence. While authorities were quick to assure the public that they believed this to be an isolated incident with no broader threat to the community, the lack of immediate answers left many on edge.
In the days and weeks that followed, the investigation into the deaths of April Nadeau and Timothy Brinegar continued, yet information remained scarce. Despite the ongoing efforts of detectives, no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with the double homicide. The police have not announced any arrests, and the motive behind the killings remains unclear. The case is still considered open and is under active investigation as law enforcement continues to seek leads and gather information that might shed light on the final moments of April Nadeau and Timothy Brinegar and bring their killer or killers to justice.
