Bail denied for suspect charged in shooting at child's birthday party inside Harford Mall
BALTIMORE -- Wesley Lyons, the suspect accused of shooting a man during a child's birthday party at Harford Mall, will remain in custody after being denied bail on Monday, according to Harford County District Court officials.
Lyons, 35, was arrested Sunday afternoon after evading police for four weeks. He was found hiding out in an Anne Arundel County hotel room.
Anne Arundel County deputies said they traced Lyons's movements and were able to pinpoint his location.
Police accuse Lyons of shooting and injuring a 42-year-old man during an altercation at the Harford Bounce Party Place on June 2.
"My manager locked the doors. A bunch of cop cars showed up, ambulances," said Keely Hoffman, who works at the mall.
"I saw people running across the street, crying," added Bel Air resident Ethan Scott.
Lisa Gregg, Lyons's mother, and Lyons's alleged girlfriend, Lateia Green, were also arrested for their alleged involvement in the incident.
Lyons is charged with attempted first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, assault, and related charges.
Gregg was involved in a fight with another woman when Lyons pulled out his gun and shot the man, according to charging documents obtained by WJZ.
Gregg and Green were found near Lyons' home in Edgewood. However, the State's Attorney's Office alleges Green and Gregg played a "significant role" in concealing the location of Lyons.
Lyons's father begged for his son to turn himself.
