A man from Baltimore is confronting charges of first-degree murder and multiple armed robberies after a nine-day crime spree culminated in the death of a convenience store employee, according to authorities.
Police in Baltimore have identified 52-year-old Brian Burrows as the suspect apprehended in connection with both a commercial armed robbery and the fatal shooting of Khaled Saleh Mohamed Alshariki on February 13.
Records from the court indicate that Burrows is implicated in three separate cases arising from incidents that occurred on February 6, February 13, and February 15. Altogether, he faces 21 charges, which include a single count of first-degree murder, three counts each of armed robbery, first-degree assault, use of a firearm in a violent crime, and carrying a handgun.
The list of charges against him extends to two counts each of robbery and second-degree assault, along with accusations of reckless endangerment, theft, and firing a weapon.

According to police, officers responded to reports of a shooting around 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 13 and found a 36-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso. The victim, later identified as Alshariki, was transported to a nearby hospital where he died.
FOX45 News in Baltimore reported it obtained charging documents in the cases, which state surveillance footage captured a suspect approaching Alshariki as he worked behind the counter, pulling out a gun, demanding money and firing a fatal shot.
Court records show investigators used facial recognition technology to identify Burrows as a possible match.

Two days later, another armed robbery was reported at Family Grocery and Tobacco, about a half mile north of the Broadway store.
Police said witness statements and surveillance footage helped identify Burrows, and investigators allege the video evidence also linked him to the fatal shooting.

Burrows was arrested Feb. 19 after detectives executed a warrant at a home in Linden Heights. He was taken to an intake facility and charged.
Court records also show Burrows had an outstanding probation violation warrant issued in September 2025 in a prior armed robbery case. In that case, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison, with 13 years suspended, and placed on supervised probation before his release.
Burrows remains held without bond as prosecutors pursue the murder and robbery charges, while the probation violation from his prior armed robbery case remains pending.
