Crime
On September 25, 1992, Christina Marie Brown was found dead from a gunshot wound in the back of the head at close range. Her purse, containing about $120, was taken. On the day of her murder, Ms. Brown, an employee of a cleaning company under contract to Saks, had left work and was believed to be heading to her home in Baltimore City. She was shot after she resisted a robbery attempt on the mile-long pathway from the mall to the metro station. The pathway was immediately closed and later torn up in response to the murder. The murder received heavy local media attention that started a perception that Owings Mills Mall was unsafe.
