Man shot to death outside business

FEDERALSBURG, Md. (WMAR) - Maryland State police are investigating the apparent murder of a man whose body was found just before midnight yesterday, not long after a 911 caller said they heard gunshots in the area.

The victim has been identified as 21-year-old Anthony Abner of Federalsburg.

The preliminary investigation revealed that shortly before midnight on September 25, Federalsburg Police were dispatched to the 200 block of East Central Avenue for a report of a body seen lying on the pavement in front of a business.
