Markus Nocho, 26, of Odenton, Maryland, was shot and killed on the evening of January 25, 2023, in the parking lot of a Taco Bell at Ridgeview Plaza Shopping Center in Hanover. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators identified 34-year-old Alexander Williams of Severn as the person responsible; he was arrested the day after the shooting and charged with first-degree murder. Surveillance footage showed Nocho approaching Williams’ vehicle and being shot almost immediately, suggesting little or no interaction immediately before the shooting. Prosecutors said Williams believed Nocho had been involved in a mugging about a year earlier and described Williams as having a history of violent behavior and mental health issues.

The killing had a profound effect on Nocho’s family, and their grief was noted during court proceedings. Does anyone have information about Markus’ last known movements or who may have seen him at Ridgeview Plaza that evening?
