Accident – Death – Obituary News :
ELKRIDGE, Md. — A quiet evening in Elkridge, Maryland turned into a nightmare as three family members lost their lives in a horrific murder-suicide on Thursday night. The incident left the community in shock and mourning.
According to reports from The Associated Press, residents in the area contacted police after hearing gunshots coming from a townhouse. The suspect, identified as Nayyer Abbas Syed, 61, also called the police to confess that he had shot his family members and was planning to take his own life.
Syed’s wife, Syeda Aalia, 57, his daughter Syeda Fatima, 25, and his daughter-in-law Alizey Fatima, 33, were all tragically pronounced dead at the scene. His son, Muhammad Ali Hamza, 31, was critically injured and remains in the hospital. The motive behind this devastating act remains unknown.
Howard County Police Department spokesperson Sherry Llewellyn expressed the community’s grief, stating, “This was an isolated incident, a very, very sad one. We’re doing everything we can to work with family members and the surviving son to make sure we’re doing what we can to help them.”
Despite the tragedy, a ray of hope emerged as Syed’s three-month-old granddaughter was found unharmed in the home. She was promptly placed in the care of a family member after a wellness check by the police.
As the community tries to make sense of this senseless act, the police are conducting a thorough investigation. Llewellyn mentioned that they will be looking into cellphone records and text messages to gather more information about the events leading up to the tragedy.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones affected by this heartbreaking incident. May they find strength and support during this difficult time.
