11 Days


Baltimore went a full 11 days without a homicide before two separate killings Sunday.

First a man who is officially unidentified at the moment was shot to death on the 2900 block of Edgecombe Circle North. WBAL is currently identifying him as 23-year-old Durrell Burrow, But there is no record of a man with that name anywhere I looked, and no other news sources are identifying him.

Shot on the 3400 block of Clifton Ave. was Catonsville resident Demetrius Lareese Sowers, 33.

An alleged police impersonator has been arrested. 24-year-old Lamel Pierce (Right) is suspected of having committed the first in a string of apparently un-related series of faux police operation robberies.

Two men were shot Friday night in two separate northeast Baltimore incidents.

Good 'ol Judge William D. Quarles has reversed the decision to release city police officer Daniel Redd, 41 on bail, citing "overwhelming" evidence.

Another arrest for weapons at BWI. This time it's Christopher Glen College, 44 who was charged with keeping a loaded .45-caliber gun in his carry on luggage.

A Brooklyn Park man is charged with stabbing his step-father and choking his mother in a late-night attack. Jesse Edward Chapman III was charged with a variety of serious crimes.

Apparent teenage "flash mob" hits a Montgomery County 7-11. Kids these days...

From play fighting with a buddy to stabbing him in the stomach... It apparently doesn't take much to set off 46-year-old John Murray, who is in custody facing attempted murder charges.

Ferndale resident Phyllis Marie Amonica, 38, has been charged with murdering her "boyfriend" 47-year-old James Gray Pfaff.

A case that is slowly unfolding into a very interesting series of seemingly very professional crimes get's new details. Craig Steven Brooks, 49, has been charged with robbery after impersonating a utility worker and robbing a woman who's gas pipe he was claiming to check. Mr. Brooks, mind you, had also been charged back in July alongside 46-year-old John F. Haston with impersonating Pepco workers during robbery turned homicide of a Bowie coin-operated laundry owner.

In International news:

Charges are expected to be laid against Gary Giordano in Aruba. Giordano, age 50, is currently the main suspect in the disappearance of Frederick resident Robyn Gardner. I'm very curious how a man with fairly recent arrests for shoplifting electronics can afford a 1.1 million dollar house.

In more sad news, Rockville resident Warren Weinstein has been abducted in Pakistan. Mr. Weinstein was in Pakistan to help develop their economy and fight poverty.

There is a Derrell R Burrow in the case search, born 2/88. He lives at 3037 Palmer Avenue which is a stones throw from Edgecomb Circle North. He was found to be a reckless driver. In 1999 Louise Philips made Donetta Philips pay her $63/week for the support of Derrell R Burrow and Darnell A Hudson.

Thanks mj, always trying to keep people interested.

And you've got me Cham, for future's sake I should take what WBAL has to say with a grain of salt, thanks for the heads up.

Actually, TAB, I've been busting rear on this list with handly clickable links for 2011 recently. I'm doing my best to keep it accurate. Your list needs some tweaking. It's not your fault, there is no good list. You need to adjust all those Stonewood Roads, only one person was homicided on Stonewood Road, the others were on Harlem Ave and Cokesbury Ave. Anthony Trent was killed on 3300 Virginia Ave. Brittany Devone, Murrell Hearns.

Oh, and BTW, the Sun map has Derrell Burrow listed killed at at 2900 Edgecomb Circle South, not North. So was this North or South???? This is important because Anthony Carr died at 2900 Edgecomb Circle South. I'm wondering if the Sun got sloppy again.

Maurice Bradbury said...

well goodness, you can't case-search everyone..

... "The Sun" -- crime coverage-- is just a couple of people, who are getting it from other people... would you really want one of those two people spending a portion of their workday calling all over the dept to find out if it is south or north?

I really wanted to know what happened with Pitcarin's LaVelva & co but nothing in the sun today.. WBAL says it was DNA- evidence procedural stuff.

... great map Cham! Good to see there are some perks to getting older...!

Cham said...

Yes, you can case search everyone.

Cham said...

Oh, and how old do you think I am?
