ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A mental health clinician was gunned down by a patient she was assisting, capping a violent sequence that began with the suspect's alleged slaying of her boyfriend a week earlier, according to investigators.
Allison Faye McIntyre, 59, a counselor at the Arundel Lodge behavioral health clinic, died from a gunshot wound to the head on October 3, 2024, while seated in her gray Honda SUV in the Safeway parking lot along Forest Drive. Authorities report that Monet Thompson, 50, a clinic patient under McIntyre's care, entered the vehicle as a passenger after her own car malfunctioned nearby. McIntyre had agreed to drive Thompson to a gas station.
Surveillance footage from a nearby city transit bus captured Thompson approaching the Honda, climbing inside, and the car lurching forward briefly before halting. Thompson then stepped out, tucked an object into her pocket—believed to be a revolver—and drove away in her blue Toyota Camry, police charging documents state. Officers arriving around 5:20 p.m. discovered McIntyre unresponsive in the driver's seat.
McIntyre's daughter, Desiree McIntyre, told reporters her mother was on a phone call with her during the encounter. She recounted hearing the vehicle arrive, Thompson enter, a brief exchange about the gas station, repeated affirmations of "OK," and then abrupt silence followed by distant voices inquiring if anyone could hear and referencing gunshots before the line disconnected. Desiree described her mother as profoundly compassionate, always ready to aid others without hesitation, and emphasized that such a selfless act should not have ended in tragedy.
The shooting came seven days after Thompson allegedly fatally shot her boyfriend, John Thomas Logan III, 47, another Arundel Lodge patient, in his Georgetown Road apartment kitchen on September 26, 2024. Police say GPS tracking from Thompson's vehicle positioned her at the scene, and security video depicted a figure matching her description departing. No forced entry was evident, suggesting familiarity between them. Ballistics analysis indicated bullets of matching caliber in both cases, though damage precluded confirming a single weapon.
Thompson, who has a documented history of schizoaffective disorder, was arrested the day after McIntyre's death following leads from an ongoing probe into Logan's homicide. She faces first- and second-degree murder plus firearm offenses in McIntyre's case, with a not criminally responsible plea entered, court records show. While detained without bond, prosecutors added second-degree murder charges for Logan's death in September 2025 after DNA evidence connected her. During processing, Thompson reportedly inquired about the DNA's use for "which" homicide, per authorities.
Annapolis Police Chief Edward Jackson labeled the events a stark example of gun violence intersecting with mental health challenges, asserting Thompson should never have accessed a firearm and urging stronger safeguards. He assured the public the attacks were targeted, not random.
Community members voiced dismay over the vulnerabilities exposed at the clinic, with some residents questioning delays in the second charging and deeming the violence appalling. Trials for both counts are slated separately for spring 2026 in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court, officials confirm. Thompson remains in custody as proceedings advance.
