Man accused of shooting 2 TopGolf employees after being asked to leave at closing time arrested

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. - Montgomery County police have arrested a man suspected of injuring two Topgolf employees in an overnight shooting Tuesday.

Police have charged Cyprian Nwaigwe, 28, with two counts of attempted second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree assault and two counts of firearm use in felony violent crime.

Detectives say just after 12 a.m. on Aug. 29, a 23-year-old Topgolf security guard told Nwaigwe that he had to leave the premises because they were closing for the night. 

Nwaigwe proceeded to get into a physical altercation with the security guard, which continued up to the front door area where Nwaigwe pulled out a handgun and shot the security guard in his upper body. Police say Nwaigwe then shot an 18-year-old employee in his lower body and fled the scene.
