Jerome Waters was fatally shot at about 11:30 Thursday night in the 2800 block of Kentucky Ave. in the Northeastern. In a shocking twist, Baltimore police suspect that the killing might be drug-related.
Way to go there, Scrappy! "Baltimore City Police say a resident of Eutaw Place fought off two teens who tried to rob him at gunpoint last night."
Kelvin Poke wrote that he wasn't born in prison and he wasn't going to die in prison.
Two PG teens are in the slammer after they stole a couple of cars and tried to run down a cop.
That about sums it up: "No Happy Ending in Dickensian Baltimore"

The head of Dimensions Healthcare System says no more non-emergency prisoner patients until the state can get its act together. And when Dimensions calls you a screwup, you know it's bad.
New charges were brought against the bus beaters.
Ronald Lee Moore, the accused sex offender who was captured in Louisiana after being accidentally released from the Baltimore City Correctional Center, tried to kill himself. No word on whether he used a cattle prod in his suicide attempt.
A 19-year-old was arrested and charged with arson after allegedly setting five fires in a Pikesville apartment complex. (WBAL has a charming headline for their video: "Man Arrested In Complex Arson." Would he have been let go if it had been a simple arson?)
"There are no 'bad' kids in Baltimore." Go Gregory.
Two trials that are scheduled to start on Monday: The first-degree murder trial of Earl Bazemore and Victor Miller, who are accused of killing Andrew Levi Jackson on September 25 2006, and the second-degree assault trial against Rodney Corban, who is accused of beating a Muslim doctor who was washing his hands and feet in a bathroom at UMMS.
The Wegman's that is slated to replace the Wire soundstage in Columbia is meeting some opposition.

Juan Hernandez indicted
From the State's Attorney's Office:
The Baltimore City Grand Jury indicted Juan Hernandez, 19, of the 1000 block of Foxchase Lane in Essex on charges of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Court documents allege that Juan Hernandez is responsible for a shooting incident on March 30, 2007 in the 6300 block of Toone Street. Allegedly Hernandez entered the 6200 block of Toone Street in a dark colored vehicle, parked, exited his vehicle, walked toward the rear of the block and began firing at Estefany Gonzales,16, striking her in the shoulder. Hernandez allegedly fled the scene in the vehicle. Gonzales died later at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
An arraignment is scheduled for January 28, 2008 before Judge John P. Miller, Room 428 Mitchell Courthouse.

A bit more about the circumstances that surround 2008's first murder, and some additional info about the investigation into whether Kerri King killed Courtney Brooks with her SUV.
Speaking of alleged asshole drunks, a 24-year-old construction worker from Ohio is being arraigned today on five counts of aggravated vehicular homicide. He received minor injuries in the crash that killed a mother and four kids from Parkville.
Luke Broadwater's long-awaited recap of Baltimore City's 2007 homicides has been published, along with a list of December's murder victims.
Three victims are listed in today's Murder Ink.
Salisbury had their first homicide of 2007 in mid-December.
A curious comment in article about Edgewood citizens who are tired of local violence: "Without the ability or authority to discipline their children, parents end up ceding that responsibility to police." Ummmmm... so why exactly don't parents have the ability or authority to discipline their children?
A 31-year-old genius refused to drop the gun he was firing into the air to celebrate the New Year, and was rewarded with a police bullet to the gut.
We've come to expect stabbings and armed robberies, but for the love of God, leave our vodka alone!
The investigation into Anthony McCarthy's rather mysterious "inappropriate behavior" has been completed.
A bunch of cars in Canton were vandalized.
Sheila D. will be attending a screening of The Wire at the Senator on Saturday. David Simon is going after the fine folks at the Sun this season.

January 1, evening
We made it almost 60 minutes into the new year without a murder.
Police arrested 40-year-old Elkton resident Kerri King, the owner of the green SUV being sought in the hit-and-run death of MdTA officer Courtney Brooks. King was being held on charges related to a September DUI arrest. Her Ford Explorer had heavy damage to the front end.
Francisco Pascual, the Gwynn Oak man charged with smuggling and raping an underage girl from El Salvador, had his bail doubled to $2M. I don't know anything about Milford (CT) State's Attorney Kevin Lawlor, but he just might be my new hero.

New Year's Eve hit and run
Officer Courtney G. Brooks was hit and killed while he worked a traffic detail last night at the intersection of 95 & 395. He was a 13-year police veteran. Police are looking for a green Ford Explorer with temporary Delaware tags XB719820.

Lewis Lee Cochran was arrested in the Edgewood home invasion on Sunday that left one man dead.
A Maryland Transportation Authority officer was the victim of a hit and run last night near 95 and 395. WJZ says he was killed, but WJZ says a lot of things.
The man killed outside the Stop, Shop & Save on N. Caroline St. last Friday has been ID'd as 25-year-old Todd Dargan.
Also in the Blotter (above link), the carjacker who desperately needed a '91 Blazer got arrested, the guy who got shot finally remembered where it happened, and teenagers in the metro area just aren't being very nice to each other.
Bringin' in the new year at juvie.
Looks like at least a few of the teens charged with beating Sarah Kreager on the MTA's No. 27 bus tried to claim that Kreager started the fight.
William A. Hendry IV allegedly taped he and his ex-wife having sex without her consent.
A 43-year-old man in Annapolis was stabbed after four men accused him of an earlier robbery.
Today's tip for stupid criminals: Don't ask a cop to move his car when (a) you're carrying around nearly 9 grams of wacky tabaccy, and (b) you're the reason the police were called in the first place.
The Examiner has a bunch of pretty neat year-end recaps that include updates on some major stories. Here's the one for Baltimore City.
Vandals in HoCo painted hateful messages on cars, houses, and driveways in well-to-do Clarksville.

Five members of a Parkville family were killed by a drunk driver in Ohio.
A Gwynn Oak man got his ass kicked -- both physically and legally -- after allegedly raping an underage Salvadoran girl who he smuggled into the country.
Josh Mitchell takes a look at differences in the motives that drive suburban and urban homicide.
Two men in Edgewood were shot by Crips yesterday.
Police have the victim and the bullet wound, but nobody knows where it happened. (Also in the Blotter, a grocery store owner was stabbed and robbed, a man was carjacked of his nearly 20-year-old Chevy, and a blonde woman in the Southeastern is armed with a bad sense of fashion.)
A Bel Air man is attributing a Molotov cocktail attack on his house to "a rash of vandalism in his neighborhood."
Be on the lookout for a 5'9" black man with a graying goatee who is wearing blue jeans and robbing banks. Wait a second... I think there's three of him working in my office as we speak!
MTA Police Chief David Franklin says the buses are safe; one of the nine kids who attacked Sarah Kreager doesn't agree.
If the slackers at the Dunkin Donuts in Berlin, MD kept their stupid store open 24 hours like every other DD on the face of the planet, these morons wouldn't have stood a chance.
Rodney Bethea just wants to talk, man!
Pat Jessamy's staff is looking into bogus parking tickets in the city.

The Sun does their year-end homicide wrap-up without any sensationalist headlines. Depressing QOTD from Julie B.: "The increase, though slight, underscores a troubling trend in homicides that leaves Baltimore standing virtually alone among major American cities."
A look at the strategies of some of those other American cities.
HarCo reduced their homicide rate by nearly 50%.
More details on the delivery driver from China Spring who was robbed and shot in Glen Burnie last week.
I missed an interesting article from yesterday's Sun about dealing with violence in the city's schools. (On an unrelated note, did you know that we have a Homeland Security Academy in West Baltimore? Does that seem creepy to anyone but me?)
I don't entirely understand the details, but protective orders in Maryland are being standardized to offer more consistent protection to victims of abuse. Or something like that.

A man in his late 30s committed suicide at Lexington Market this morning.
Joseph Brown was allegedly selling a handgun when he was murdered. There's an important lesson here for aspiring illegal gun dealers: don't give loaded weapons to your potential customers.
You mean Christmas Eve isn't the traditional day of desecrating tombstones?
Gotta love those JZ headlines that inform us of genuinely surprising local developments: "Baltimore's Murder Rate Continues To Climb".

The man murdered in Pikesville has been ID'd as 22-year-old Joseph Edward Brown.
Very disturbing details on the child abuse allegations against Towson parents John and Susan Griffin.
A man was shot by police last night in the Southwestern, probably because society forced him to try to run over a cop.
The Bus Beaters aren't getting charged with hate crimes. No word on whether they'll be charged with being assholes.
Shoplifters and armed robbers run amok in the Blotter.

A Towson couple was arrested after their 3-year-old, 14-pound son died. According to the boy's parents, he had the flu and a Christmas tree fell on him.
The body of a man in his 20s was found in a rarely used alley in Pikesville, and authorities aren't sure who he is or how he got there.
A few victim IDs in the Blotter: William Harper was the guy who was killed on Christmas Eve on Reisterstown Rd., and Kevin Bacon was the man who was killed on Wednesday on N. Dallas St. Police are still looking for info about the man who was killed on 12/20 on S. Paca St. in Mt. Winans.
Today's Blotter is chock full of good times, Baltimore style. Did you know that we have a T&A Mart, and it's not on the Block?
Also in the Blotter, a man was stabbed in the neck at a bus stop on North Ave. Everybody together now: "M - T - A. Reliable and Safe. M - T - A. Reliable and Safe."
Speaking of reliable and safe, apparently it's those meddling kids who are causing all the problems on the buses.
A city resident is behind bars in HoCo after allegedly being too much of a wuss to move on after his girlfriend dumped his ass for another guy.
No bail for David Winters.
If I'm understanding the poorly worded article correctly, a home invasion in Cumberland left a victim and an assailant wounded.
Alleged sexual offender Ronald Lee Moore was caught breaking into a house in Louisiana. He was accidentally released from the Baltimore City Correctional Center last month.
Today's helpful hint for stupid gun owners: don't stash your gun beneath the cushions of your couch if you have a 5-year-old kid.
Okay, do we really expect a guy who can spend weeks sitting on top of a bar to be financially responsible?
Ahhhhh... we'll be seeing much more of this as the mortgage mess continues to unfold.

A man was fatally shot yesterday in the 1700 block of N. Dallas St. (Copy editors at the Sun are apparently on vacation this week: "where he was died during surgery...")
Jason Milton Allen was ID'd as the man who was fatally shot in the 2300 block of Druid Hill Ave. on Friday night.
In MoCo, recent Marine recruit David Winters claimed a bunch of scary men attacked him and his father. Police didn't buy the story, and charged Winters with killing his dad.
Five non-fatal (so far) city shootings were reported in this morning's Sun, including a 24-year-old woman who was driving with her family on Orleans St. by Hopkins early on Christmas morning, and a 19-year-old man who was carrying a pistol and some crack when he got a bullet lodged in his skull and flipped his car. Sucks to be him.
A delivery driver was shot and robbed in Glen Burnie last night.
A 55-year-old inmate at Jessup was stabbed and taken to Shock Trauma. No word yet on whether or not he was able to escape from the hospital.
If you live in an upstairs apartment, it's probably best if you don't shoot randomly through your floor.
Rodney wishes he'd stopped bitchin'.
Project EXILE charged 18 people with federal gun offenses in December, including Rodney's poor, victimized friend Akiba.
One of Sheila D.'s minions said yesterday's bus shooting was unacceptable, because "we need for (public transit) to be reliable and safe." Huh. Obviously these people don't ride the bus.
Oh, hey... look at that. A 17-year-old girl and her 8-year-old brother were robbed at gunpoint while waiting for an MTA bus. Reliable and safe, my ass.
The zoo is safe, as long as you don't take the bus to get there.
Beware of phony cops who call and ask for credit card info on your customers.
Okay, somebody has to know what happened on Christmas night on the corner of S. Broadway and E. Pratt. We Baltimore Crimers slave over hot computers day and night for you, so the least you could do is fill in a missing gap here and there. Or don't. We don't really care anyway. Whatever. (Uh-oh.

One of the three Christmas Eve shooting victims mentioned on Tuesday succumbed to his injuries, and another fatal Christmas Eve shooting was reported.
This morning, a 14-year-old boy was shot in the leg on the No. 15 bus in West Baltimore.
Hey Kevin... generally speaking, we shouldn't stab our friends.
The Greater Baltimore Committee has statistics that prove Baltimore's a pretty great place to live.
It's got nothing to do with crime, but 16 cats died in a Cockeysville fire, and a 300-pound man and his dog died in a fire in the Southwestern.
Something went down around 11:00 last night at the corner of S. Broadway and E. Pratt. Does anybody know what happened?

"Repeal of Md. Death Penalty Still Seems Out of Reach"
"Arrest a child, rescue a life"
Edgewood is a mess! Andre Overton, the man shot on the 22nd, was the brother of a man killed last New Year's Day.
The Vulcan Blazers are flamin' mad that the firefighters accused of cheating have been asked to retake the promotional exam.
