BROOKLYN MURDERS going down down down. ( not the murder rate)

The June 19 murder of Philip Airey, a 36-year-old Caucasian man from
Glen Burnie, was added to the city's homicide rolls this week. Airey
was found beaten and stabbed in the trunk of a car that had been set on
fire near the ramp from I-295 to West Nursery Road in Anne Arundel
County. On June 26, Maryland State Police contacted Baltimore police
and told them that they had evidence that the murder actually occurred
in a building in the 4800 block of Pennington Avenue in Curtis Bay,
making it a Baltimore City homicide. State Police arrested Michael
Martin, a 28-year-old Caucasian man, for the murder on June 21. Robert
Speake, an 18-year-old Caucasian man, was arrested three days later by
state troopers and city police after he broke into a building in the
2000 block of Benhill Avenue in Curtis Bay and barricaded himself
inside. According to State Police, Airey left a bar in Curtis Bay early
in the morning on June 19 and went to a Pennington Avenue address where
he got into an argument with Martin and Speake and was then killed.
