Father of suspect in Harford mall shooting speaks to son: 'Surrender.'

BALTIMORE — Larry Lyons, the father of a man wanted in connection with a shooting at harford mall spoke to the media from his home Wednesday afternoon, calling on his son to surrender.

The shooting happened Sunday after an altercation at a child's birthday party. The victim was shot twice in the hand and once in the leg. He was hospitalized and is expected to be OK.

Two women were arrested and charged with attempted accomplice murder in connection with the incident. But the suspected shooter, Wesley Larry Lyons Jr., 35, is on the run. Metro Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading officers to him.

“Appointment.”

Lyons says he believes his son should turn himself in for his own safety and for the well-being of his loved ones, including his children.

“I wish you would turn yourself in. I know things aren't looking good for you, and I know you'd probably run out of resources or things to do. But to help me, your mother and your my brothers, surrender,” Lyons said.

Lyons added that he has no idea where his son is, but he is sure he is tired and will be at a loss.

Bel Air Police Chief Charles Moore said Tuesday it was unlikely Lyons was in the area.

The arrest warrant issued by the Harford County State's Attorney's Office lists attempted first-degree murder, assault and inadvertent endangerment, among other crimes, as potential charges.
