62 yo man killed in Silver Spring garage

[Anonymous]

More violent crime in the county, and this one doesn’t seem to have a motive. 62-year-old man was shot in the stairwell of the parking garage and nothing was taken from him.

If nothing was taken, how do the police know it was random vs. something personal?

This is really scary. I park in those garages and eat in those restaurants with my kids. This appears to have been totally random.

I am deeply sorry for the gentleman who lost his life and for his loved ones who will mourn him.

The police have got to do a better job in DTSS. It seems to attract youth from neighboring areas and shootings have gotten out of control. Years ago, it wasn't like this. It's a shame and I feel sorry for the businesses that will suffer when people don't feel safe going there anymore.

The reporter has no idea.

Discovery paid for off duty cops to sit in the garages and now that they are gone so are the cops.

How would an intended murderer know that the man was going to run to his car alone to drop off leftovers?

I don't feel safe going out to eat anymore. I have stopped going to some DC restaurants and certainly stopped going to Silver Spring area. I prefer Howard County, Frederick County and Upper Montgomery County.

There have only been a few people shot in DTSS in the last few years. Lots of other crimes, lots of gunshots at night with no one reported hit, but there isn’t an epidemic of people being shot.

And what do you mean about attracting youth from neighboring areas? Bringing in people who don’t live in 20910 is a goal of the area. 20910 residents can’t support businesses on our own. We want people to come from all over to shop, eat, and enjoy entertainment and recreation venues. Most youth are not committing any crimes. They are however, often working class and Black or Brown which triggers the gentrifiers. Not louder than WJ and Churchill kids at Montgomery Mall. Not ruder than kids at Whitman, Wootten,or MoCo’s private HSs.

It could’ve been a crime of opportunity. I’d like to know if the family went up the stairs first and at what point the gentleman ran back to get leftovers.

WJ, Churchill, Wooten, Whitman, and private school kids are not shooting people in parking garage stairwells.

99.9999999999% of people are not doing this, including working class and Black or Brown kids.
