Jody LeCornu pulled into the now-defunct Caldor discount department store parking lot in Baltimore, Maryland in the early morning hours of Saturday, March 2,1996 when witnesses said a man driving a white BMW pulled up behind Jody’s white Honda Civic. He got out of his car and approached her vehicle.
Witnesses describe this man as an African-American about 5’10’’ to 6’2’’ weighing 200-220 pounds. He seemed to be between the ages of 20-30, with a stocky build and wearing an Army green camouflage-style jacket.
Jody rolled her window down and the two exchanged words, before the man turned and walked back towards his car. Before reaching his car, he turned back around to face Jody’s car, drew a handgun, and fired through the rear passenger window of her car, hitting Jody in the back.
Bleeding and wounded, Jody was able to drive across the street and into Giant Food grocery store parking lot, where she circled and stopped at a curb between the Firestone Complete Auto Care shop and the Boston Market.
The shooter followed Jody across the street in his car, and, once again pulled up beside her car and approached her vehicle. He reached across Jody’s lap, put the car in park, and took something from the car. Witnesses say he left the scene and drove southbound on York Road.
The case has now been re-opened for investigation.
