Largo resident Aubrey McLeod, 29, was shot and killed in the Carver-Langston neighborhood on Wednesday, April 11 in an incident that left five others – including two children – hospitalized with serious injuries.
Officers were called at around 6:10 p.m. on the night of the shooting to the 1100 block of 21st Street NE, where they found three men, one woman and a 9-year-old boy suffering from gunshot wounds.
According to MPD Chief Pamela Smith, officers rendered aid at the scene, though McLeod was pronounced dead by first responders. The other four victims were taken by paramedics to area hospitals for treatment of undisclosed injuries.
While they were being evaluated, police say that a 12-year-old boy also arrived at the hospital suffering from a gunshot wound sustained in the incident.
All of their injuries were considered non-life-threatening.
Following his death, colleagues of Marlea Tolson have come together in support of their co-worker, raising more than $1,000 in the days following his “senseless” death.
