Video shows the May 8 moment when Baltimore County police officers shoot a man who reportedly murdered three of his neighbors and wounded another. Everton Garfield Brown (56) is accused of starting the fatal crime spree by breaking into his neighbor’s home.

First, he brutally stabs and shoots 41-year-old Ismael Quintanilla to death. Everton Brown then chased down Sara Alacote, Quintanilla’s 37-year-old wife, who managed to escape the house while Brown attacked her husband. After catching up to Sara Alacote, Brown fatally shot her.

After coming out of their home to check on the street, two more of Brown’s neighbors became entangled in the horrific event. Sagar Ghimire, 24, died after Brown shot him and the unidentified person who went out of the house with Ghimire.

The 911 caller said that the sounds of Brown’s evil actions “jarred [her] out of bed.” She said that she heard “somebody banging on somebody’s front door, and then I just heard three gunshots.”

The witness claimed to be three houses down from Brown. She said she saw “a man standing in the door posed with a weapon in his hand.” However, she couldn’t give the dispatcher a description of Brown. She said, “Once I saw him with the gun, I came back into the house and locked my door.”

While the 911 caller is still on the phone with the dispatcher, around 6:40 a.m., she claims to “hear somebody screaming; a woman screaming.” According to the caller, Brown had signs posted all over his property claiming that the FBI was working in conjunction with local and state police to harass Brown.

She said, “the man has signs all over his house that the FBI is after me, and we’ve known for years that he has a mental health problem.” She claimed that Brown had “signs all over his truck, and on the front of his house.”

A different caller called into Baltimore’s 911 dispatch office frantically screaming, “We just had a house blow up! And, the house next to it is on fire!” As the dispatcher is attempting to get the location of the explosion, the caller said, “Oh my gosh, all we heard was pop, pop, pop, and then a house blew up.”

Caller after a caller alerted the Baltimore police that Brown had blown up his home after first terrorizing the neighborhood. As the police arrive on the scene, they find Brown standing next to his vehicle with a loaded weapon.

Bodycam footage from POFC Irwin shows a house, assumed to be Brown’s, ablaze. Officer Irwin immediately takes active fire and is forced to take cover at the front of his vehicle. He instructs Brown, “drop the gun. Drop the gun. Drop the gun.”

Irwin instructs other law enforcement around him to “go in” on Brown as he goes around another car to better view Brown. Irwin finds Brown and, with one shot, takes him down but does not kill Brown.

The second bodycam footage from POFC Norton shows him arriving on the scene where a bystander identifies the “red truck” as Brown’s vehicle and the current hiding place after POFC Irwin shot him. Brown’s truck had a sign that read, “black people are the tool used to maintain racism.”

POFC Norton, along with several other officers on the scene, fired at Brown, taking him down again. As the officers secured the scene, multiple explosive devices ignited from the flames taking down Brown’s home.

The shooter, Everton Garfield Brown, died on his way to the hospital from gunshot wounds.
