Baltimore County police announced an arrest in the Sept. 19 fatal shooting of a 31-year-old man in the Lansdowne area near the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

John Henry Adams, 23, of the 100 block of W. Hilltop Road in Brooklyn, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Walter Milewski, who was shot to death in the 4800 block of Carmella Drive, police said. Adams was interviewed by police on the day of the killing, and he was arrested while police served a search warrant on his home Monday. Police said they did not have a motive in the crime.

Adams was charged in 2004 in Anne Arundel County with attempted first-degree murder and was convicted of first-degree arson, receiving a three-year suspended prison term.
