On June 1st, at about 7:33 p.m., Montgomery County Police responded to multiple 911 calls for a shooting in the parking lot in front of the Target store in Germantown. Officers responded to the area and found Adebayo in the parking lot suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. She was transported to a local hospital where she died, according to police.
At the scene, multiple witnesses told police they saw Adebayo and Bricker, Jr. fighting in a pickup truck before Adebayo got out.
