Anne Arundel Co. police search for suspect in shooting death of Severn man

Police in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, say they are searching for a suspect who fled the scene of a deadly shooting in Severn Friday night.

Officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 1600 block of Meade Village Circle around 7:19 p.m., according to a social media post from the department.

Police said when officers got to the scene, they found 34-year-old Keion McKinney, of Severn, behind a building with apparent gunshot wounds. McKinney was pronounced dead at the scene.

Preliminary investigation indicates McKinney exited a townhome and a male suspect shot him in the rear yard before fleeing the scene, the department said.

Police said this appears to be a targeted incident and there is no threat to the general public.

The investigation is ongoing, and detectives ask anyone with information to call in at 410-222-4731.

Md. Democratic Party will spend thousands to target ‘extremist’ school board candidates

The Maryland Democratic Party will spend “tens of thousands of dollars” targeting at least 18 school board candidates that it says are looking to bring a “hateful” and “right-wing agenda” to schools. It is a first for the party, which has never before involved itself in the nonpartisan races for local board of education seats. But party leaders said the move is needed to fight the “extremist” agendas espoused by candidates in 11 counties, eight of which it’s putting resources into – Anne Arundel, Calvert, Carroll, Frederick, Howard, Montgomery, St. Mary’s and Talbot. It is also warning voters against eight other candidates in Allegany, Cecil and Washington counties.
