Police Identify Two Victims Who Shot, Killed Each Other In Essex
ESSEX, Md. (WJZ) -- Two victims who shot and killed each other in a Friday afternoon double shooting in Essex have been identified, police said Monday.

Both victims, Garrett Lucas Cox Jr., 18, and Antione Baye Richards Jr., 20, were driving in the car together when they began to argue, which led to them both grabbing firearms and shooting each other inside the car.
They both tried to flee the car but collapsed nearby, police said.
