December 20

A man was shot to death in the 2600 block of S. Paca Street this morning. Sentementes reports that this is official murder #277.

Lezli Williams, 22, was strangled to death Tuesday afternoon in her apartment, and police are seeking a suspect.

"A man who refused to surrender to police for several hours after a domestic situation yesterday afternoon in an apartment in the 2700 block of Greenmount Ave. in the Barclay community was taken into custody and faces domestic assault charges."
And "A man was shot in the chest about 8:30 p.m. yesterday in the 900 block of Pennsylvania Ave."
Plus lots of robbery in the Blotter.

The girl stabbed on the #51 bus reportedly participated in the brawling.

To review:

homicide: up 9%
shootings: up 6%

total (Part I) crime: down 7%

I'm curious to see in which categories the declines were booked. Were they real reductions in incidents, or just lower reporting by weary victims and decreased recording by understaffed officers.

And check out the editor's kudos to Julie B on the VOP angle.

Stabbing in Essex.

Whoa, a police officer was murdered out in Washington County. I'm surprised the shooter was captured alive...

This is just pathetic:

A 20-year-old female employee of Lexington Market was walking in the 900 block of Pennsylvania Ave. about 6:15 p.m. Tuesday when a man armed with a handgun forced her into the hallway of a nearby building and robbed her of $1.

A DOLLAR??????????????

Kudos to Julie B? Go reread her article and then square it with the results of a Judicial Case Search inquiry of the cases mentioned in the article.

Then tell me if you think Julie knows what she's talking about.
