[Chat] [Discussion] Shooting tonight

[Stephen J Gewirtz]

According to the Sun, the victim had died.  That means that we have just 
had two murders in Charles Village approximately a day apart (the other 
was Thursday evening in the 2300 block of Charles), and both involve 
shooting at the head of the victim.  Whether they are related and 
whether, as now appears based on minimal evidence, they are both drug 
related and are not random remains to be determined by homicide 
detectives, but clearly we have a bad situation in our neighborhood.

Let us just hope that the police get lucky.  Sometimes, just flooding an 
area with police will have an officer in the right place at the right 
time to solve a serious crime.  An officer in the right place at the 
right time led to the solving of the Stephen Pitcairn murder within 
about 12 hours of the murder.  We need some similar luck now.
