HOWARD COUNTY, Md. — A teen accused of killing a man was arrested at Howard High School Tuesday afternoon. When taken into custody, police say they found a loaded gun in his backpack.
According to Howard County Police, the arrest stems from the shooting death of 26-year-old Kendrick McLellan, who was found shot to death in a parked car behind a business building in the 8800 block of Centre Park Drive in Jonestown early Saturday morning. However, investigators believe he was shot around 5 p.m. three days earlier.
On Tuesday, police went to Howard High School to arrest a 17-year-old student in connection to McLellan's death. At the school, police say they discovered a loaded gun in the student's backpack.
The teen was already under supervision of the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services for a previous incident in another jurisdiction. Due to that previous crime, the teen was wearing an ankle monitor.
A second suspect in McLellan's death has not yet been apprehended.
