Westview Mall was an indoor mall located in Catonsville, Maryland. The mall originally opened in 1958 as an outdoor strip mall, but was later converted into an indoor shopping center [1].

Westview Mall came into the news in 1991, when a well publicized murder took place in the parking lot. On June 6 of that year, 49-year-old Jane Tyson was murdered in the presence of her grandchildren, ages 6 and 4. Wesley Eugene Baker was convicted of the crime, and was executed on December 5, 2005, after more than 13 years on Maryland's death row.
