SEVERN, MD — A Glen Burnie man wanted in a Severn murder was taken into custody Monday morning, said Anne Arundel County Police.

Daquon Darryl Pack, 22, from the 7000 block of O'Daniel Court in Glen Burnie, will be charged in the April 1 fatal shooting of an acquaintance, Patrick Maurice Dixon, 31, of Glen Burnie.

Dixon was taken to Baltimore Washington Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Pack reportedly had an issue in a Meade Village parking lot and shortly thereafter shot Dixon.

On April 29 police announced a $5,000 reward for tips leading to Pack. He was arrested Monday morning during a traffic stop on a vehicle near Route 295 and Route 198; Pack was a passenger in the vehicle and taken into custody.

An arrest warrant had been issued for Pack charging him with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, handgun on a person and reckless endangerment.

The victim’s father, Miles Dixon, told The Capital-Gazette he loaned his son his truck so Patrick could check in with his parole officer -- the young Dixon had been released from prison just hours earlier. After the men talked, Patrick picked out an outfit to wear later at a homecoming party his sister was going to have for him that night.

Patrick left in the truck, but was shot and killed before he could make it home.

"I thought it was an April Fools' joke," his father said of the murder. "He wasn't even home eight hours and he was gone."

Anne Arundel County Police ask anyone with information in the case to call the Anne Arundel County Homicide Unit at 410-222-4731.
