Baltimore County Police have charged 18-year-old Muhammad Hasnet Shakeelabassi in his father's homicide in Catonsville in the 1000 block of Southridge Road.
Officers were dispatched at 11:48 a.m. Tuesday for a report of cardiac arrest. When they arrived at the residence, they found an adult male with traumatic injuries. The victim was declared deceased at the scene.
Police said they found evidence of stab wounds and bludgeoning. An autopsy will be conducted Wednesday.
Police said an initial investigation indicated that Abbasi's wife received a call from a relative in New Jersey asking her to check on the victim. The relative in New Jersey received a text message from Shakeelabbasi asking them to check on the victim.
When the victim’s wife went to check on him, she found him not moving and covered with blood. She called 911, and the call was dispatched as a cardiac arrest because of how dispatch software coded the call, police said.
Police said Shakeelabassi had been home earlier in the day, but was missing along with the victim's vehicle, a Honda van. Shakeelabassi was found around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, along with the victim’s van, at a rest stop on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bowmansville, Pennsylvania. Shakeelabassi remains in Pennsylvania awaiting extradition back to Maryland.
Police said they have charged Abbasi's son, Muhammad Hasnet Shakeelabassi, 18, with first-degree murder.
Baltimore County Police have identified the homicide victim as 50-year-old Shakeel Ahmed Abbasi.
Relatives of the Catonsville man tell WBAL TV News he was a cab driver and he lived in the home for about a dozen years. A cab was parked at the home when detectives were investigating the homicide.
