On a Sunday evening in Severn, Maryland, the quiet of a wooded area was broken by the discovery of a man who had been shot multiple times. The 40-year-old male victim was Anthony Lee Brown, a resident of nearby Glen Burnie. Anne Arundel County Police officers were dispatched to the 8000 block of Marlton Court at approximately 8:50 p.m. on September 15, 2024, after receiving a report of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they were met by the individual who had placed the call and were led to Mr.
Brown's location in the woods.
Life-saving measures were administered at the scene before Anthony Lee Brown was rushed to the University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center. Despite the efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead at the hospital. His body was then transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy to officially determine the cause and manner of his death.
Homicide detectives from the Anne Arundel County Police Department promptly took over the investigation into what they believe was a targeted attack, not a random act of violence. As they began their work, authorities stated that there was no immediate threat to the public. In the days following the discovery, no details about a possible suspect or a motive for the shooting were released to the public. The investigation into the death of Anthony Lee Brown was announced as active and ongoing, with police appealing to the public for any information that might lead to an arrest. To date, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests or the identification of any suspects in the case.
