Security Guard Fatally Shoots Man During Fight Inside Adult Lounge

FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS, MD — An armed private security guard fatally shot a patron inside an adult establishment late Monday night.

The incident happened Dec. 8 around 11:50 p.m. Prince George's police officers were called to the business located in the 5300 block of Sheriff Road called Ebony Inn. They found 50-year-old Donald Wayne Hunt of Waldorf inside the building with gunshot wounds. He died at the scene, police said.

The preliminary investigation suggests Hunt was involved in a fight involving other patrons. The security guard was alerted to the fight and while "interacting with the group of patrons, the security guard discharged his weapon," killing Hunt. A second gun that didn't belong to the security guard was recovered at the scene, police reported.

Investigators are working to determine the sequence of events leading up to the shooting. They are collecting additional evidence and conducting interviews. Detectives also are talking with the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office. At this time, no charges have been filed in the case.
