Police said one juvenile suspect was arrested Monday evening. A second teen was taken into custody following an hours-long barricade situation in the 100 block of Akin Circle in Middle River.

The arrests come as police continue investigating another deadly shooting that happened about 30 minutes earlier and roughly a mile away.

Officers responding to Banyan Wood Court in Essex found two 19-year-olds suffering from gunshot wounds. Izick Aminartey was pronounced dead at the scene. Donielle Mack was transported to a hospital, where she later died.

Baltimore County police said investigators do not believe the shooting that killed Wright is connected to the double homicide on Banyan Wood Court.

Authorities have not released additional details about what may have led to either shooting.
