Turns out the "man" shot on Bayville Road Friday in Middle River was a 16-year-old Davon Lopez. Jaquane Gross, 18 and also of Bayville Road, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
One of Mustafa Alif's guns, which had been customized with a laser sight, had been seized then returned before it was used to kill Police Officer Troy Chesley in January. Last week, police took seven guns from Alif's house; Alif says the weapons connected with crimes had been stolen from his home in 1999.

8:10 pm - something I've never seen here - a long line of motorbikes/dirtbikes (no helmets) -- maybe 9 of them --zooming through Charles and 39th, west to east, followed by one unmarked cruiser with lights and three or four regular cruisers, lights and sirens. One evidently turned around on 39th and zoomed south on Cahrles.
I meant east to west. duhhh.
no, east to west. I was never a scout....
Yeah, they were pursued by cruisers going north along Greenmount. It's a large goup. I've seen them 25-strong taking over a gas station.
FYI:
Yet another police-involved shooting at the 2300 block, Barclay St.
Yet another guy floating face-down in the Harbor atthe bottom of Bond St. (But don't tell the white tourists at the Stadium for the Dew Tour.)
Whatta great place to live!
So sloppy police work wound up getting one of their own, PO Troy Chessley killed. Had the officers traced the gun to Ali when they had the opportunity, they could have saved Chessley's life. Wrongful death?
If one of those clowns on a dirtbike with no helmet gets in an accident the taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for his medical care. I say just leave him to die if he gets in a crash.
Thanks for the explanation, galt.
All I usually see at Charles and 39th -- well hear, actually, is the screeeeeeeeeech THUNK of automobile accidents when people going east to west (got that right this time) try to run the light at the top of a blind hill.
I was the white tourist that found the body floating in Fells Point. Good thing Im from Philadelphia and it didn't faze me in the least. Sad isn't it? Hope this crime will be soved much quicker than ours are here in Philly!!
