In the days following the shooting at the Mall in Columbia, community members are finding ways to memorialize the victims and aid family members affected, according to Howard County Police Department press releases.

Already, a memorial fund has been created for the two-year-old son of Brianna Benlolo, 21. Benlolo lived in College Park and was one of the two Zumiez employees killed by Darion Aguilar.

A second fund has been established to honor Tyler Johnson, the other Zumiez employee killed Saturday. All proceeds will go to the Community Foundation of Howard County, which strives to lead community initiatives with fellow nonprofits, according to the group’s website.

Therapy dogs will also be available at Fidos for Freedom — an organization that trains hearing, service and therapy dogs — in Laurel to comfort those impacted by the shooting, according to a tweet by Fidos for Freedom. 

While in one of the Zumiez dressing rooms Saturday, Aguilar, 19, assembled a 12-gauge Mossberg shotgun before killing Benlolo, Johnson and himself and injuring a 49-year-old woman from Hanover.

Howard County investigators are attempting to understand Aguilar’s motive for shooting six to nine rounds Saturday morning. Police served a search warrant at Aguilar’s home on Hollywood Road in College Park and found a journal he owned, according to a Howard County Police Department news release.

Students from Aguilar’s alma mater, Blake High School in Silver Spring, said he was quiet and kept to himself, according to The Baltimore Sun.

Police originally refrained from releasing information discovered in the handwritten journal. On Wednesday, police began tweeting some of the thoughts Aguilar expressed. 

For about a year, he sporadically wrote of his mental health problems and how he might have needed help. Aguilar mentioned a “general hatred of others,” according to police, but did not mention specific people, locations or ethnicities.

Aguilar never wrote about any of the victims specifically, but officials tweeted Tuesday that investigators are still accessing his computer and cell phone for more information. 

Aguilar wrote that his plan was set in the journal but included no specific details, according to police. After expressing “thoughts of wanting to die,” Aguilar apologized to his family for the plans he had made.
