Family Still Grieves After 3 Charged In 2019 Shooting Death Of Harford County Delivery Driver

BEL AIR, Md. (WJZ) -- Jabrell Brodie, 20, and Jaquan Northan, 21, both of Joppa, were taken into custody on charges related to the murder of Timothy Youngquist, who was shot and killed in February 2019, the Harford County Sheriff's Office said.

Northan was arrested Tuesday on charges of first- and second-degree murder, manslaughter, attempted carjacking, armed robbery and robbery, among other offenses. Brodie was arrested Thursday on the same charges.

A third suspect, 20-year-old Amir Turner of Edgewood, was sentenced last month to more than 18 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to carjacking resulting in death, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a news release.

Youngquist was fatally shot Feb. 10, 2019, in Harford County.

Deputies called to the 700 block of Monticello Court in Edgewood about 8:30 p.m. that day found the 34-year-old shot multiple times in the hand, back and chest. He was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Three men were seen fleeing from the scene, authorities said at the time.

Youngquist was delivering food in Edgewood that day when Turner and two others tried to steal his car, according to Turner's plea agreement. When Youngquist fought back with a baton, Turner shot him multiple times.

"He was delivering Chinese food. It was just one of the many jobs he had trying to support his family," Harford County Sheriff's Office Col. William Davis said.

The last three years have been hard for Tim Youngquist's family.

"We try to keep him in our everyday life no matter if he's here or not here," Youngquist's wife Mandii Waugh said.

Waugh said all he ever wanted to be was a good father to their son, Hunter.

"He worked really hard towards that," Waugh said. "That's why it was so sad it was taken from him."

Mandii said Turner apologized to her in court.

"We're going to give him the benefit of the doubt to think that he feels bad and that this did affect him in some way, but it would never equal what happened to us," Waugh said. "Tim was a huge part of our family. He was our family. He was the rock that kept us together."

Hunter, who was only five when his dad was killed, said he'll always remember him.

"He was very nice and very kind," Hunter said.

Federal prosecutors said the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN, a federal ballistics database, contributed to the case against Turner.

Brodie and Northan remain in custody at the Harford County Detention Center where they're being held without bail while awaiting court proceedings.

Detectives said all three suspects have been connected to gangs in the past.

"Young individuals who are misguidedly involved in gang activity or crimes who commit violent acts for really no reason and take people's lives," Col. Davis said.

The arrests are the product of a roughly three-year investigation by the Harford County Sheriff's Office, Maryland State Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
