Witness intimidation works!
"Witnesses Donta Robinson and Jamal Carter had once identified alleged cop killer Brandon Grimes as the man who carjacked them at gunpoint. But Monday both men drastically changed their stories.
'I ain’t never seen that person in my life,' Carter said."
Here's the Ink, with two murders previously unreported, including Michael Sewell, 29, and an unidentified man on Oakley Avenue.
A 1986 murder was solved by some good-old-fashioned dick work
Trial is underway for Kazeem Akinyoade Akinniyi, 26, accused of stabbing his ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend
"Agents from the FBI on Monday raided several offices connected to Milton Tillman Jr., the man with several criminal convictions who prosecutors say controls about 80 percent of Baltimore City’s bail bond market." Here's the CP article collection for the backstories as well as affadavits that list the searched premises.
Marc Mitchell, 18, and Tavon Hammond, 23, were arrested and charged in the attempted murder of another man in a shooting last week at the Northwood Shopping Plaza.
Harsh! "‘RAT’ carved in back of inmate who wore wire"
The city's got a lot of nasty sewage leaks, but don't tell the EPA

The Crime Lab is also ridiculously understaffed.
They don't even try to handle prints, etc. unless it's a very high profile case.
If you've been broken into but not murdered, you're just screwed.
To paraphrase Judge Doory,
"The stupidity of {so much in Baltimore City} is astounding..."
On this persistent subject of a regularly understaffed Police Department (by about 10%), in the City of Monumental Crime ...
...perhaps it's time to consider the following thought in light of the inept public services...
What if much of Northern Baltimore seceded ?
Okay, this is what happens to an intruder in the County.
However, in the City on multiple occasions when I have detected street people breaking into houses in my neighborhood, I've called upon police to apprehend them and upon removing them from the site, the officers will simply let them go.
When I ask "What on earth are you doing?", they inform me that street people are too drunk or high or sick or filthy to arrest.
!!!!!
I inquire "Why, whatever do you mean? Aren't they criminals?"
The officer responds "Well, Central Booking won't accept medical cases, so we have to let them go."
I ask "Why not treat (to a few days in the drunk tank) them under police custody?"
Answer: because then an officer has to accompany them for three days around the clock in the hospital, depleting District manpower (which is already short).
So.... net, net,...
a wino or crack addict or smack junkie (most are really on heroin) can do anything he wants to property and be essentially immune from prosecution because it's costly ??
Yep.
Got it.
The Criminal City.
And this has happened on multiple occasions in different neighborhoods, different posts, different districts.
It's unwritten policy.
And the same street people who were unarrested have broken into other places since.
Akiba Matthews, the cameraman for Stop Snitching got 30 Rosenstein years (meaning no parole, gotta love the feds) after someone snitched on him.
