Overview
- Laurel police, who named 24-year-old Michael Dakernu Dennah on Thursday, issued an arrest warrant and warned he is armed and dangerous.
- Detectives used video, witnesses, and forensic analysis to identify Dennah, who faces six attempted murder counts and multiple firearm offenses.
- The May 5 gunfire erupted in front of LongHorn Steakhouse on the 13600 block of Baltimore Avenue during a large Cinco de Mayo crowd tied to Amigos Mexican Grill, leaving three people hospitalized in previously reported stable condition.
- In a separate domestic-related incident nearby that night, two people were stabbed, and police charged 26-year-old Shon Juan Cook Jr., who investigators say is unrelated to the shooting.
- The City of Laurel suspended Amigos Mexican Grill’s permit and closed the site over alleged misrepresentations about security and event use, a move that could tighten oversight of large gatherings at the shopping center.
