March 25

The body of 36-year-old Robert Long was found next to the train tracks in Carroll Park with at least one bullet wound to the head.

The Frederick man who was killed outside the New Cathedral Cemetery in the Southwestern on March 9 has been ID'd as Levette Johnson.

The link above also mentions a 17-year-old who was shot in the back in the 2600 block of McElderry St. on Friday night.

The link above also mentions a lot of people who haven't figured out that you don't leave your $700 GPS or your $800 camera behind when you park your car. This isn't a Baltimore thing, people, it's true in any city. Don't leave shit in your car.

A 22-year-old UMBC student is in critical condition after she was severely beaten by four women at Cheerleaders sports bar in Fell's Point early Sunday morning.

David Miller's murder trial started yesterday, and it's the first time prosecutors are using Maryland's fetal homicide law.

More evidence that the war on drugs is a miserable failure.

Careful, parents, or your young huffers might end up getting beatdowns at Baby Booking.

There's a hefty dose of either racism or paranoia over in homicide.

Yesterday was a rotten day to work in an AAC pizza joint. Some dude robbed a pizza place on Somerville Rd. and carjacked their delivery driver, and three guys with a semi-automatic robbed a Pizza Boli's on Crain Highway.

In Bel Air, Deborah Turner lost two houses to arson within three months. In other Bel Air news, three teenagers were arrested and charged with vandalizing some cars and setting a trash can on fire.

Okay, I admit it. When I read the headline "Referendum on police looks likely," my first thought was, "What? Are they prohibiting mustaches?"

The Earica Flood story is a bit odd/disturbing. Cheeleaders is one of the sleazier looking bars in Fells Point, but it isn't exactly Club Choices either. How the hell does a woman get the shit kicked out of her there without anyone doing anything?

Ah, I just saw that the Sun's story is a bit clearer about what happened.

"A manager said the fight lasted no more than 15 seconds and the women were ejected."

Assuming that bit is true that's one hell of a 15 second beat-down. BTW, it turns out that the Sun's story actually came from the Associated Press. Pretty lame that they couldn't cover this story on their own.

What more do you expect from the Calvert Street TP factory?

I'd be really interested to see what comes from this - I can only assume this will somehow find its way to the judiciary...

Robert Long was found shot in the head. Is there more information about this. Race, next of kin, does he have a record ?

Anything would be helpful.
