Police Release Names of Couple Involved in Attempted Murder/Suicide

Baltimore County police released the names of the couple involved in an attempted murder and suicide on Sunday: Melissa Brown, 33, and her husband, Neil Ivan Brown, 45.

Melissa Brown was critically injured and her husband died in the incident in their home in the 4200 block of Dressage Court in Randallstown, according to a police statement issued Monday.

At about 4:25 p.m. Sunday, officers from Pikesville/Precinct 4 responded to the townhouse in Randallstown's Foxridge on McDonogh neighborhood for a domestic-related call.

"When officers arrived at the location, they heard a woman inside the location asking for help because she had been shot," according to the statement. "Officers quickly entered the home, and were able to safely remove her from the foyer."

She was transported in critical condition to Maryland Shock Trauma for treatment of multiple gunshot wounds in both legs, police said.

Officers then tried to contact Neil Brown inside the home with the help of Hostage Negotiation Team members and the Tactical Unit.

When they couldn't contact him, they entered the home and "found him dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound," according to the statement.
