Murder Charges Filed In Bel Air Homicide: Harford Sheriff

BEL AIR, MD — A man has been arrested in connection with a homicide in Bel Air that happened Monday, according to officials.

Milton Mondowney, 31, of the 2700 block of Ashland Avenue, was taken into custody in Baltimore about 12 hours after a man was shot to death in a Bel Air apartment, the Harford County Sheriff's Office reported.

The victim was a 23-year-old man who police have not identified yet, pending next-of-kin notification.

While it is still early in the investigation, authorities say they believe Mondowney went into an apartment in the 1900 block of North Fountain Green Road, where he shot the victim multiple times "as a result of a dispute" he and the 23-year-old had.

Deputies responded to the apartment complex around 5:30 a.m. on Monday for a report of shots fired and found the victim had been shot multiple times in the upper body, according to the sheriff's office. He was pronounced deceased at the scene, officials said.

Mondowney was charged Tuesday with the following:

• First-degree murder
• Second-degree murder
• Using a firearm in a felony
• Home invasion
• Reckless endangerment

He has a bail review hearing slated for 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday in Harford County District Court.
