Baltimore – City police officials continued to investigate Monday after an off-duty police officer fatally shot an unarmed Marine outside a nightclub early Saturday.

According to Baltimore City police, Tyrone Brown — a 32-year-old Marine who has served two tours of duty in Iraq — was shot at 13 times at close range, with six shots hitting him. He died a short time later.

The incident happened outside a nightclub in Mount Vernon.

Baltimore police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the officer, identified as 36-year-old Gahji Tshamba, shot Brown after Brown made advances toward a woman who was with the officer.

“After the advances, the officer and the individual exchanged words,” Gugliemi said. “There was an argument, and the altercation turned physical. At that point, the officer pulled out his service weapon and fired multiple shots at our victim.”

    I am outraged over this dirty police taking the life of a gentleman who has served our country and served two tours of duty in iraq this police think that he is above the law he has a long history of viloence against innocent people he walks around acting as though he is above the law he had no reason to shoot this gentleman off duty or on duty mr Brown was unarmed and he had his hands up why did this man shoot him . this could have been avoided if the police department would have fired this dirty cop from the beginning when he first crossed the lines of shooting a innocent person he should have been fired then but like always the police department always cover up the truth to make there polices look as though they are right when knowing that they are wrong and have broke the law this man have gotten away with being above the law for to long this time he will be stopped and brought to justice he think because he walks around with a badge he is above the law and he can shoot anybody he wants to the devil is a liar i will continue to keep mr. Brown family in prayer and i will also continue to follow this unjustified tradgey and i hope and pray that he be punished this time to the fullest extent of the law.
