ODENTON, Md. (AP) - Authorities are investigating the deaths of a husband and wife inside a home in Odenton.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department said in a statement Sunday evening that interviews with witnesses and evidence from the scene indicate the killings were “a targeted incident and not a random act of violence.”

The victims were identified as 55-year-old Charles James Edward Jackson and his wife, 47-year-old Veronique Crystal Jackson.
