Baltimore Police announced on Saturday that its officers had arrested a suspect of killing an off-duty Howard County deputy in Federal Hill.
Jewel Crowder, 40, of Baltimore, was taken into custody by S.W.A.T and the Warrant Apprehension Task Force around 5:30 p.m. on Friday, according to Baltimore Police.
Crowder has been charged with first-degree murder.
The shooting took place at Wayward Bar and Kitchen, located at 1117 South Charles Street.
“This unfortunate incident is a great loss to the law enforcement community, his family and friends, and each of us,” acting Police Commissioner Richard Worley said.
Police said that shortly after 12 a.m., two groups of individuals got into a verbal and physical altercation at the bar—right inside the front door.
Wayward security staff removed both parties, and the alteration moved to the outdoor seating area in front of Mother’s, an adjacent restaurant and bar.
That’s where police say 23-year-old Ryan Demby was shot four times in the torso.
