Two shot on Shields Place* near historic "freaking gold mine" Pennsylvania Avenue, one victim is in serious condition but they are reportedly both still alive. Fenton also ID's the unnamed victim from the past weekend as Angelo Ward, 25, likely the "loso" in the photo in the post below, and notes that Brent Nickens was in a wheelchair; police say they are exploring "drug-related ties" (Ps. here's a throwback Linskey/Sentementes jam about the times and trials of Bloods disciplinarian/ former CEO of the Pennsylvania Avenue drug trade Don Papa). (Blake is still in jail, and apparently keeping busy getting beaten by guards and filing lawsuits.)

That article from '07 was great, and yet how interesting that the BGF, which police now say reigns supreme, wasnt even mentioned. Major shift in a relatively short period of time
The first mention on this blog of the BGF was in July of 2007, and it was new enough that the Sun was referring to it as the "Black Gorilla Family." I remember the BPD nabbed a whole bunch of Bloods around the time they got Don Papa-- remember those girls who set that guy on fire?-- Janis/IV wrote about Blood arrests quite a lot. And four years ago the Crips were still a factor too (remember some Crip shot some Blood at the Inner Harbor?), but they seem to have petered out, haven't heard anything Crip-related in a while. Or maybe they just underwent a rebranding effort.
