Was extremely sad to read this story. A promising young Nigerian woman, Marie Adebayo,  was shot and killed by her ex in the parking lot of a Target store in Germantown, Maryland on Monday.  Details of the story, after the click.
“She was so kind and so non-judgmental. She was great,”
That’s how Marie Shade Adebayo’s cousin described her to reporters following her untimely death. Â The University of Maryland, College Park grad was shot and killed by her ex boyfriend, Donald Wayne Bricker Jr., 27, about 7:30 p.m. on Monday, June 1 in the parking lot of a Target store. According to NBCWashington –
Adebayo dated Bricker for about six months, her family said. They broke up, and she agreed to meet her ex-boyfriend in the Target parking lot to talk.
Witnesses heard the former couple arguing in a car, and then investigators say Bricker fired at Adebayo multiple times. He fled in a white Ford Ranger, with police in pursuit, officials said.
Nearly 10 miles from the Target store, Bricker crashed his truck in Darnestown, Maryland about 8:10 p.m., police said. He was arrested in the 15800 block of Darnestown Road/Route 28 and then hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
A gun was recovered at the scene of the crash, police said.
Court records show Bricker is a registered sex offender with a criminal record dating back to 2007. He now faces charges including first-degree murder.
There’s a vigil tonight (Wednesday June 3) for Marie, at 8:30 p.m. at Seneca Valley High School in Germantown and here’s a link to the family’s GoFundMe page; they’re raising funds for her funeral arrangements.
Sad, sad story. Hope the ex-bf get’s life in prison with no chance of parole. Ever.
