On Saturday, September 12, 2020, at approximately 10:45 p.m., Anne Arundel County Police responded to the 500 block of Delaware Avenue in Glen Burnie for the report of a fight. When officers arrived, they found a subject deceased lying in the street suffering from apparent gunshot wound(s). The deceased subject was identified as Fillmore James Burris, a twenty-seven-year-old male from the 200 block of Kent Road in Glen Burnie, Maryland. An autopsy will be scheduled at a later time to determine the exact cause and manner but all evidence indicates Mr. Burris was the victim of a homicide.
Homicide detectives responded to the scene along with the Evidence Collection Unit. A canvass was done where physical and digital evidence were collected from the crime scene.
The investigation revealed Mr. Burris had been in an altercation with family members prior to being shot. While the victim was fighting with family members three black males approached and it was during that time Mr. Burris was shot. The three black males then took off running from the area.
