May 26

Inmate Lawrence Lannin was indicted for first-degree murder, he's accused of smothering child-killer Richard Spicknall with a rag in the shower at Jessup.

Correctional officer perrybrookLt. Perry Brook, 48, was found dead by his 12-year-old grandson in his car under the carport of his home in the 1900 block of Hillen/ Hillenwood Road around 2:30 a.m. last night.

"Violent crime is down citywide, but nowhere more so than in the Northern District. 'The Northern District is leading the city,' said Maj. Michael Pristoop, commander of the Northern District.... There have been 10 murders in the district so far this year, but they don't reflect a real danger to the district because most of the victims had no connection to north Baltimore and the locations of the murders were incidental," said Pristoop's press release.
Some of what has happened in the past 10 days: a man shot in the lower back, armed robbery, burgled perfume, jewelry, cash and so on.

Dixon has a plan: "selective increases in police overtime and the transfer of some surveillance cameras to higher-crime areas."

Baltimore police preliminarily classify a guy full of holes with a gun lying nearby as suspicious.

Ya think ?

Did I miss something, did Lannin do anything wrong?

So I get back from vacation, check out the blog and see that there was a murder in my old neighborhood. To clear up the confusion, Lt. Perry Brook lived on Hillenwood. I know the location well. Many years ago before Lt Brook bought the house, I lived just down the street. As a kid I played in the basment and in the back yard where the parking pad is...
