Two More Arrests in Burglary, Fight and Odenton Man's Fatal Stabbing

Two more suspects have been charged with burglarizing an Odenton house in the hours after a party, but no one has been charged to date with the related stabbing death of a man who reportedly fought with the teenager hosting the party.

Donovan Christopher Brown, 18, of the 8700 block of Thornbrook Drive in Odenton was arrested Wednesday on multiple counts of theft, third-degree burglary and fourth-degree burglary.

In addition, a 17-year-old girl has since been charged on a juvenile citation with first-degree burglary and theft. She was released to the custody of a relative.

Investigators said Thursday the suspects had broken into the home in the 700 block of Sunny Chapel Road on more than one occasion during the early morning hours of July 10. The stabbings occurred during the final break-in when the 16-year-old resident who hosted the party reportedly fought with the burglars.

Brown was present during an earlier burglary, but was not present during the burglary where suspects were stabbed, police say. The girl appears to have been with the two suspects who were stabbed.

Jesse Gage Brousseau, 19, of the 600 block of Chapel View Road in Odenton, died in the roadway near Winer Road and Bruce Avenue from stab wounds. Anne Arundel County Police say he fought with the party host.

A second person injured in the incident was identified as Allen Johnson, 19, from the 2400 block of Vineyard Lane in Crofton. Witnesses identified Johnson as a suspect who burglarized the home in the 700 block of Sunny Chapel Road where the fight occurred. Police charged Johnson with first-degree burglary, theft, and assault.

Investigators said the 16-year-old boy was home alone on July 9 and had a party that evening with a number of guests. The party ended at about 1 a.m.; just after 3 a.m., the home was apparently burglarized multiple times.

The 16-year-old was interviewed at a police station; police have not said whether charges were filed.
