BALTIMORE, Maryland (WJZ) — A woman and a man died from an apparent murder-suicide on Tuesday in Baltimore County, according to police.

Officers responded to the 9200 block of Avondale Road in Parkville around 10:45 a.m., where 28-year-old Kylee Long died from apparent trauma. Her ex-boyfriend, 29-year-old Terrell Pryor, was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and was taken to a hospital, where he died.

Police said the incident was isolated and there is no threat to the community.

Crime in Baltimore County

The reported death comes as Baltimore County sees a slight decline in homicide rates.

One of those cases, a shooting that left three people dead in Catonsville, was determined to be a murder suicide, according to police.

The incident was discovered after police responded to a home on Wilton Farm Drive on August 28 and found three people — 42-year-old Chantel Sharieff, 6-year-old Kimana Sharieff, and 43-year-old Mustafa Sharief – dead in the home.

Officers determined that Mustafa Sharieff, the suspect in the shooting, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The investigation into this incident is ongoing.

Another case, a quadruple shooting in May, left 28-year-old Elijah Lamback dead in the parking lot of a Baltimore County shopping center, officers said.

Three other people were injured in the shooting, which police said took place inside Azuz Hookah Loung along Woodlawn Drive.
