A Baltimore man has been arrested in a triple shooting at an Essex bar in May, police said yesterday.

Khan Williams, 23, of the 7100 block of Park Drive was arrested last week in the May 17 shooting in the parking lot at Coco's Bar and Grill, Baltimore County police said. He is accused of shooting three men after a fight inside the bar, which is in the 400 block of Eastern Ave.

About 1:15 that morning, bouncers escorted Williams and his friends out of the bar, and the three victims also left the bar, according to police. Another argument broke out in the parking lot, police said, adding that witnesses identified Williams as the shooter.

The victims were identified as: Robert Legrand, 34, of the 900 block of St. Paul St. in Baltimore; Frank Bele, 20, of the 800 block of E. Bentalou St. in Baltimore; and Randy Morton, 34, with no known address.

The victims were taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and treated for injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.

Williams is charged with attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, handgun possession and possession of a handgun with felony conviction, police said. He was being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
