The Maryland man who killed three of his neighbors before he himself was shot and killed by police on Saturday morning was no stranger to law enforcement, according to the
Baltimore Sun, which reports the suspect had been the subject of repeated peace orders filed against him over the past few years and a history of erratic behavior stretching back over a decade.
On Saturday, police say the suspect broke into the home of 41-year old neighbor Ismael Quintanilla and stabbed and shot the man. The suspect then chased 37-year old Sara Alacote, Quitanilla’s wife, out of the home, fatally shooting her as well. Two other neighbors who heard the shots and had raced outside their homes were also shot, with 24-year old Sagar Ghimire passing away from his injuries later that day.
