GERMANTOWN, Md. (AP) -- Montgomery County Police say a Hagerstown man shot his ex-girlfriend after she left a pickup truck during an argument and shot her again as she lay on the ground.
Officers say the woman, 24-year-old Mariam Folashade Abebayo of Germantown, died at a hospital, and her ex-boyfriend is charged with killing her.
Authorities received numerous 911 calls about 7:30 p.m. Monday. Police say witnesses saw two people fighting in a truck in the parking lot in front of Target in a shopping center in Germantown.
