BALTIMORE -- An explosion damaged a van, killing the man inside of it and injuring his young passenger in Owings Mills on Tuesday, according to the Baltimore County Police Department.

The explosion killed 46-year-old Abayomi Adeleye, police announced on Wednesday.

Baltimore County firefighters were sent to the Northwest Regional Park, across from the Ravens' training facility, for a vehicle fire around 1:50 p.m., according to authorities.

The passenger in the vehicle—a child—was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to authorities.
