2 Charged With Murder In Joppa Delivery Driver Death: Sheriff
A federal investigation helped link two Joppa men to a 2019 murder in Harford County, according to officials.

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — Two Joppa residents have been indicted on murder charges after a years-long investigation into the death of a food delivery driver, according to officials.
Jabrell Jayon Brodie, 20, and Jaquan James Rashard Northan, 21, have been charged with murder, attempted carjacking and other offenses.
The charges stem from the death of Timothy Wayne Youngquist, 34, of Joppa, who was killed while he was working as a food delivery driver in 2019.
