February 28

His mom went to jail, then 17-year-old Vic Roy Fenner [46] was fatally shot in the head on Monday night on Guilford and 21st in Barclay.

Anna Ditkoff reports on the murders of Charles Pace, Darnell Cain, Brian Lessane, Andre Jones, Antonio Harris, and two unidentified victims.
Grouses a reader,
"The 2300 block of Barclay is not particularly 'near' Lovely Lane Church in any significant manner worth noting as it is closer to other establishments of familiarity. And the 1800 block of Clifton Ave is not near enough to Druid Hill Park to serve any useful purpose. The 1800 block of Clifton isn't even in a neighborhood adjacent to the park. In dense urban areas, many places are near lots of other places. The relevence of distance changes relative to the density of the area. These reference points only serve to confuse and confound..."


Robert Brazell was left to die after everyone in the HoCo high school brawl ran away. Meanwhile, police were busy busting an underage drinking party that several of Brazell's former schoolmates were attending.

Perhaps Club Choices should be renamed Club A Whole Bunch Of Kids Stabbing Each Other.

Pat Jessamy testified yesterday for better witness intimidation laws.

Three men robbed a First Mariner Bank in AAC yesterday morning.

A bucolic organic farm in Worthington Valley was the setting for a Lyme-infected love quadrangle cumulating in cuckold farmer James Dasher firing rounds at a randy farmhand ... or was simply a case of a generous herdsman tripping over a shotgun?

Sean Joseph O'Brien, a Carroll County inmate who escaped from rehab at Gaudenzia last month, was arrested after robbing two people with a BB gun.

If only all of our criminals would speed away to PGC.

i explained the discrepancy between your murder count and the official one a few days ago, but nobody seems to read my comments anymore :(

I did read your comments and fixed stuff.
Is something else the matter, your Burgness?
I think the extra body is the burned guy near Potee (37)-- exactly the kind of scenario that the ME and/or police would classified "undetermined" but that any reasonable person would conclude is not likely natural, either. Paging Steve Janis...

The Vernon Carter thing is very unclear.
Carter died two years ago-- the fatal shooting police were responding to Monday was someone else!

... and don't forget the pregnant lady shot to death in front of Club Choices!

oh i saw "un id'd man" and stopped reading, assuming you hadn't changed anything yet. the un id'd man (38) and brian lessane (42) are one and the same. now you're missing william r. duck IV, 21, stabbed to death on 2/24/07 at the intersection of w pratt & s fulton.

the homeless guy found in brooklyn is indeed not being counted as a murder yet. even if it seems fishy though, i would leave it off the count until you know for sure, considering that there have probably already been plenty of undetermined deaths that we don't know about and aren't including (after all there are over 300 a year, right?).

i'm not sure what you're talking about with vernon carter and the pregnant woman.

Maybe we should pass a law against clubs with the word "Club" in their name. Club Mate, Club International, Club Choices. We could probably use CitiStat data about commonalities between homicide locations to justify the law.

Burger: pregnant 19-year-old Ashley Harris was an allegedly innocent bystander who was killed in front of Club Choices on 3/31/06.

I'm confused about the Vernon Carter thing also, Cybes. Could you explain more?

Ahhh... Baltimore, home of the allegedly innocent.

burgersub said...

yeah i know who she was, just...what about her?

Maurice Bradbury said...

So Chuck and Burg, you can't change the template?

Vernon L. Carter of 1800 West Lanvale was killed in 2005-- unless he had a brother of the same name living in the same house? Anything's possible, It's Baltimore!

Well I'll be darned, two Vernon Carters? I guess so!

John Galt said...

Ahem, it seems to me that Gemini Jones and the Southwest District Flex Squad would constitute a gang, no ??

I discovered this morning that I can edit it and I added Vic Roy Fenner.
