recognizance/
UPDATE (Dec. 29): Harford County District Administrative Judge Susan
Hazlett on Friday morning released Brian Delen on recognizance, according
to online court records.
Bel Air police arrested a man in connection with a fatal shooting
Wednesday night.
Town police said officers were called around 6:30 p.m. to the English
Country Manor condominiums in the 600 block of Churchill Road for a
shooting.
Police said a preliminary investigation indicates a confrontation in the
parking lot led to the shooting and that the suspect, Brian Michael Delen,
47, of Bel Air, called 911.
“(Delen) immediately surrendered to them (officers). They took him into
custody and found a semi-automatic pistol on his person. From that point,
they also saw the victim lying on the ground,” Bel Air Police Chief
Charles Moore told 11 News.
A court charging document obtained by 11 News said it was all over gender
identity.

“It’s a tragic and needless loss of life,” Moore told 11 News.
Those who knew the victim identified her to 11 News as Meghan Lewis.
Police charging documents obtained by 11 News state: “Lewis is a
transgender woman who has changed her name to Meghan Riley Lewis.”
A neighbor said he had interacted with Lewis before.
“I did talk to her a few times. We would talk at the pool,” the neighbor
named Taylor said. “I did hear a loud noise, which I thought might have
been a car crash. It wasn’t until police showed up that anyone knew
anything.”
Police said Lewis was shot in the upper torso and was taken to the
University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center, where she died.
“She was an incredibly bright light and huge asset to the transgender
community. She was one of the most decent kind people I’ve ever known in
my entire life,” Tina Castle, a friend of Lewis, told 11 News.
The charging document states Delen was delivering food when he and Lewis
got into a confrontation.
The court record states: “Delen asked, ‘Are you waiting for a food
delivery, sir?’ Lewis took offense to what she believed was Delen
misgendering her and began yelling at him.”
The charging document states Delen began to drive away and Lewis followed
on foot. Delen then stopped his car and got out, the dispute escalated,
and, “during the altercation, Delen produced his firearm and fired one
round, striking Lewis in the left abdomen.”
Police charged Delen with second-degree murder, first-degree assault and a
gun charge. He remains held at the Harford County Detention Center, and a
bail review hearing is scheduled for Friday morning.
Police send their condolences to the victim’s family.
“We want to guarantee them justice will be served and we will hold Mr.
Delen accountable,” Moore told 11 News.
Police are asking for any witnesses to come forward with information or
video of the confrontation by calling investigators at 410-638-4500.
