FOX45 News: Charging documents reveal how BPD caught suspect wanted in connection to killings

Baltimore Police had been searching for a man suspected of two killings and stealing a car since early June.

And on Monday, police say they arrested a suspect on Fallsway at Hillen Street near the Health Care for the Homeless building.

Investigators had released surveillance footage of the suspect, hoping to enlist the public’s help. They called him a person of interest in two killings and a non-fatal shooting all happening June 2, just hours apart.

One of those killings, police say, happened just before 4 a.m. at the Exxon gas station on West Mulberry Street near North Greene Street where a man was shot several times before later being pronounced dead at the hospital.

James Warren, a security guard at the Exxon — who was not there when the shooting happened — reacted Thursday to news of the suspect’s arrest.

“Every day on my shift, everything is under control. But like I said, by him being caught, at least we don’t have to worry about this person being on the loose,” Warren said.

Now more is known about how police tracked down the arrestee.

According to charging documents obtained by FOX45 News, just hours after the Exxon shooting the suspect fatally shot a man on Pennsylvania Avenue near Preston Street. Investigators say video recovered from the rear of the apartment building shows the suspect wearing a khaki-colored shirt and pants, and black flip-flops.

According to charging documents, he was seen exiting a red Lexus before confronting a man. Police say the suspect then shot the man and ran toward the red Lexus.

Soon afterward, police found the vehicle abandoned a few blocks away on Argyle Avenue where police say they lifted fingerprints from the driver’s side of the vehicle.

Regarding the red Lexus, investigators say it was stolen during the earlier killing at the Exxon station — where police say the suspect is caught on surveillance video, wearing the same clothes seen at the fatal shooting on Pennsylvania Avenue.

“I’m just glad to see (police) actually got the job done,” said Warren.
