What the?! In NY, a baby shower for the wife of Jamie Hector, the actor who played Marlo Stanfield in The Wire, ended in a gunfight that left a 17-year-old dead and two men injured.
Two more members of the cult accused of killing Javon Thompson are due to go on trial tomorrow, but will likely be postponed due to lack of lawyers.

Shocking Stats Dept.
Sunday night insomnia fun, courtesy of Olivia Bobrowsky: Comparing infant mortality and life expectancy in the SW to Roland Park or North Baltimore at Baltimorehealth.org.
People in Roland Park live nineteen years longer than residents of the Southwest.
They're four miles apart!
(Also interesting: RP residents live a year longer than the residents of Homeland, and 10 years longer than denizens of the Hampden/Remington area)
(Average US life expectancy = 78 years)
It's also sobering to compare the SW to other countries, like, say, Libya.
More on from Hermann on the SW's crapulence

A double shooting
.. on Fear Avenue. Seriously
Weird: Van Smith reports that the city's so-called biggest coke bust ever was the result of the defendant himself, Trenell David Murphy, leading police to the stash.
On Thursday a drug suspect caused mayhem when he fled into William Paca Elementary School
An 8-month-old boy was killed when he was caught in the crossfire in PG County
Baltimorean William Spencer, 49, accused of robbing a jewelry store and then taking an elderly couple hostage in Leesburg, VA

Light for all, more light for some... Two murders and three nonfatal shootings crammed into a single paragraph in the local daily. Killed were an 18-year-old shot in the 1700 block of Division & Laurens Sts. two days ago, and an unidentified man last night at McElderry & Curley Sts.

25 years for killer of Shaundretta Griffin, 14
Charles Jakes, 18, right, said he "didn't mean to kill Shorty", aka 14-year-old Shaundretta Griffin, and he shot himself in the thumb in the process of shooting her in the head. Yesterday, Jakes pled guilty to second-degree murder and use of a handgun. The SAO reports "Judge Martin P. Welch sentenced Jakes to 30 years in prison suspend all but 20 years for the murder count and a consecutive 20 years suspend all but five years for the handgun count for a total of 50 years suspend all but 25 years. Judge Welch placed him on five years probation."

City's biggest-ever drug bust= guilty plea
Ben Nuckols of the AP reports that Trenell D. Murphy, 34, will plead guilty tomorrow to possession with intent to distribute. Murphy was "arrested in February after police recovered 41 kilograms (91 pounds) of cocaine from the bed of his pickup truck -- the largest drug seizure city police have ever made without federal help."
