Police seek suspect in fatal shooting outside Glen Burnie seafood restaurant

Anne Arundel County police are seeking a Northeast Baltimore man in Sunday's fatal shooting outside Mo's Seafood restaurant on Ritchie Highway in Glen Burnie. Police said the victim was found outside on the parking lot about 10:30 p.m.

Andrew Michael Johnson, 25, of the 100 block of Sloane Drive in Glen Burnie, was pronounced dead at Harbor Hospital of a gunshot wound to the upper body.

Police have charged Cornelius Keith Johnson, 24, of the 4200 block of Shamrock Drive, in Baltimore in a warrant with first-degree murder. Police have not disclosed a motive but said the "killing was targeted and was not a random act."

The suspect is at left in a police mug shot. Police said they do not believe he is related to the victim of the same name. Court records show that Cornelius Johnson was convicted of a handgun possession in 2005 in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court, but got a 30 day suspended jail sentence and one year probation.

In 2008, he accepted probation before judgment on a drug possession case and was sentenced to two years probation. 

Anyone with information should contact Detective N. Cooper at 410-222-3453 or Metro Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous.

About Peter Hermann
Peter Hermann started covering news for The Baltimore Sun in 1990, first in Anne Arundel County and, starting in 1994, reporting on the Baltimore Police Department. In 2001, he was assigned to Jerusalem as the Baltimore Sun's Middle East correspondent. He returned in 2005 as an assistant city editor overseeing crime coverage. In 2008, Peter returned to the beat as a daily reporter and blogger. A recent BBC report featured him in a segment on the harsh realities of covering crime in Baltimore.

Coverage will focus on crime trends, problems in neighborhoods in the city and elsewhere, profiles of victims and police officers and try to offer readers a fresh perspective on one of the most vexing issues facing Baltimore and its future.



Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore. He was recognized as the best reporter in Baltimore by the City Paper in 2010 and by Baltimore Magazine in 2011.
