The police have not released the names of the victims yet, but may do so later this afternoon. We'll certainly update this story if they do.

My mistake—it looks like we were working off of an outdated listing. Thanks for the heads up, Val!

ReplyHi Coni--
Which property are you referring to? The information above is from the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation. Not sure why the property would be registered with the state as sold if it hadn't yet, but could be a clerical error.
Thanks,

Hi Morgan--
We don't have any more detail about the nature of the dispute, so none was included (apart from the officers having observed no signs of injury to Mr. Ziegler). But it's at least relevant to the question of why police were at the residence in the first place, which is why I mentioned it both places.

On the article Crash on I-95 North in Laurel Causes Major Traffic Jam

Hi Dana--
There's a short stretch of I-95 that does fall in the city limits just north of Sandy Spring Road. See:
http://www.cityoflaurel.org/sites/default/files/u20/city-of-laurel-map.pdf
https://www.cityoflaurel.org/sites/default/files/u20/zoning-map-2011.pdfIt looks as though this morning's accident occurred about a tenth of a mile south of that border. But as is often the case, I've used "Laurel" here (rather than "City of Laurel") in the broader sense to include unincorporated sections of the Laurel area.
I certainly understand there are differences between the two (particularly governance), but for the purposes of describing accidents on the highway, I'm comfortable using "Laurel." It's a shorthand that's easy for most people to place.

Hi Eva--
Yes, the addition of Sports Authority was the big update this week. I believe the construction schedule above is new, as well (or at least I'm not aware of that particular version circulating before).
The four tenants named above are the only ones the developer has announced so far. I've been told there are more pending, but I can't confirm that just yet.
