Man found shot in SW Baltimore as vigil for murder victim wrapped up
A 56-year-old man was fatally shot last night in Southwest Baltimore, as a candlelight vigil for a homicide victim from last week was wrapping up just a few blocks away.
More than 70 people gathered in the street in front of Tomasina Degree's South Wickham Street home last night to mourn her son, Kip, 23. They remembered his love of dancing, and talked about how he had found God and was making something of his life. A youth pastor concluded the candlelight vigil with frank warnings of the dangers of gun violence.
Police said last night that it appeared the man, identified as Ronald Crosby, was shot elsewhere and drove to where he was found by police. Crosby, who lived in the Jamestowne community, is the city's 15th homicide victim of the year.
