"He was young at the time," (his mother) said. "He talked about the dead bodies he had to walk though. He had to go hunting in the forest for food."City police yesterday arrested Darnell Jeter, 42, and charged him with the murder of Theresa Parker last March 25.
She said that Payne and his grandmother were always on the run. "They were going from one village to another," she said. "When the rebels got there, they'd have to leave again."
(His mother) tried to find Jeff and another son, but she couldn't. "They were running from to place to place. His father was trying so hard to find him. I thought he was not alive. I thought he had been taken by rebels."
At some point, during a raid, Jeff was apparently shot. His half brothers, Michael Gillies, 19, and Wilmot Daye, 25, both remembered him saying that he had been shot and showing them the scar.
You've gotta love a Baltimore "high school night" where two 20-year-olds get shot, one fatally. I wonder if they were seniors yet?
A cutting in the Southeastern, and some broken flower pots in the county.
Saturday's shootout at a Laurel motel left (alleged) attempted-cop-killer Aaron Mason Lowery dead.
Timothy Marsh's German Shepherd misses him, and Annapolis' Mayor Moyer's fears that guns and drugs are "running rampant in the city." Meanwhile, WBAL uses the last paragraph in a story about Marsh to report on a non-fatal BB gun incident in Annapolis.
Alleged AAC carjacker Scott Corey Coale was arrested in California after trying his mad jacking skills in the parking lot of a motel.
Carl O. Snowden is the civil rights director for the Maryland attorney general's office; his kid, Kojo, was arrested on gun charges.

I was disappointed to see that my burglary didn't make the Blotter. LOL.
Oh no, you were burgled?!
Bastards! What did they take?
re: high school night shooting
shootings happen every day in baltimore. this one only got more attention because it happened near a black club. the news is trying real hard to try to pin some blame towards the club. what happens off of club property is not the club's fault. that shooting came from an argument between those particular people. don't blame the club.
Actually, anon, after 3+ years of reading every goddamned murder report in the media, I don't think the coverage of this shooting has anything to do with it being near a "black club." Two reasons:
1) The media should be covering every murder, because there just aren't as many to cover. (And good for them for doing it.) They didn't cover Jeff Payne because he got shot near a "black college." Shenera Norris didn't get coverage because she got killed near a "black apartment complex." Shit, I'm thrilled to see every murder getting some real coverage.
2) Can you show me a murder at a "white club" that didn't get any coverage? The fatal shooting at Fantasies last year got coverage, as did the double murder of the Redwood Trust guys.
But one of your points is, for the most part, valid: what happens off of club property is not the club's fault. Exception being, of course, criminal activity that takes place inside the club and is not dealt with properly.
Anyway, I don't even know why I'm responding to an anonymous comment. Bored, I guess.
I did indeed get burgled. Laptop, two cameras, jewelry, my hammer, and a half bottle of hydrogen peroxide...WTF.
Sigh...
Life in the big city.
And for what it's worth, the whole "black club/media" connection is crap. Murder is murder.
