A gunman executed a chilling targeted assassination at a Maryland casino in broad daylight, gunning down a victim while he ordered food before escaping without a trace.
Targeted Execution in Casino Food Court
Prince George’s County Police are hunting for a gunman who executed a targeted killing at the MGM National Harbor Casino and Resort in Maryland. The shooting occurred just before noon in the casino’s food court, where surveillance cameras captured the entire deadly encounter. Chief George Nader confirmed the gunman walked directly to his target, showing no hesitation or uncertainty about the victim’s location.
Victim Gunned Down While Ordering Food
The victim, a man in his twenties, was simply ordering food when the gunman approached and opened fire without any conversation or interaction. Surveillance footage revealed the calculated nature of the attack, with the shooter appearing to know exactly where to find his target.

The gunman immediately fled the scene in a vehicle, leaving behind a crime scene that has shocked casino patrons and raised serious questions about security measures.
Police Withhold Critical Details
Despite having surveillance footage of the incident, police have not released a suspect description or disclosed any potential motive for the killing. Chief Nader emphasized that violent crime in the county is down 32 percent this year, but this statistic offers little comfort to families concerned about public safety. The lack of detailed information about the suspect has left the community wondering whether they should be concerned about an armed individual still at large.
Security Questions Surround Casino Operations
The MGM National Harbor Casino reopened all areas except the food court following the deadly shooting, a decision that may concern safety-conscious Americans.
While Chief Nader insisted the casino and surrounding area remain safe, describing it as a “targeted incident,” the ease with which the gunman entered, killed his victim, and escaped raises legitimate questions about security protocols. Nearby schools were placed on lockdown as a precaution, underscoring the broader community impact of this brazen attack.
