From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
[June 25, 2014, Edgewood, MD] — Harford County Sheriff’s detectives are investigating a homicide that occurred earlier tonight.
At 9:41 p.m., deputies responded to the 400 block of Meadowood Drive for a shots fired call. When deputies arrived on scene, they found a 19 year old, black male gunshot wound victim on the sidewalk.
The victim was transported to University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health by Joppa/Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company, where he was pronounced deceased at 10:35 p.m.
The identity of the victim is not being released at this time, pending notification of next of kin. The investigation is continuing.
Wow… Any info on this from the copter??
Eagle 1 was unavailable they were on another mission looking for theft suspects.
Plumber,
You have no respect for anyone. You are low class and ignorant. Every story has to involve something about Bane that you don’t like. I would like to find something you did like and respect. Flush yourself.
Probably more rift raff from bel air causing trouble. Seems to be a lot of that recently.
Maybe the sherriffs should stop ccruising thru Abingdon so much and spend more time where the crime really is. Many of them are already known to the police- who they are, where they live, what people and associations they have. Face it, the problems are gang and drug related and there is not enough being done.
Or, cruise through the neighborhoods where they already know the skateboarders in the dozens are blocking traffic and doing stunts all over the roads. At least they could save some lives. But no, that would entail getting out of their cars. There also isn’t any quota on reckless skateboarding.
Skateboarders blocking traffic? Get some balls and run over the A$$holes, than put in reverse and back the fuk over them to make sure they wont block traffic again.
Another dumb a$$ comment, the thugs know the jungle is hot so they move to the next closest area to destroy.
The Dagger hasn’t updated it yet, but the name has been released…Delmonta Young.
Not a big surprise that he got shot.
What happened to his pack of Skittles?
How is it that so many heartless people find time to make asinine comments when somebody just lost their life…..someone just lost their child. How can you be so cruel and hateful. Is it that you are making assumptsions that the victim is Black? Is that why you can feel free to release your venom? I wouldn’t lower myself to wish something like that to happen to your son.
The only bad thing to come out of this is we will probably have to listen to Mildred Sammy try to be a community activist again. Anyone that really thinks this is a random crime needs to have their head checked. Also if you do make an appointment for a shrink please take Monster with you.
Geezy Peezy – guy was prolly just turning his life around, or not.
Breaking news Lionel and Mildred will be holding a prayer vigil for the dearly departed Delmonte in the parking lot of Edgewater Village Shopping Center. Millie will be extolling the virtues of the young man while the Eagle 1 flies overhead dropping VOTE FOR BANE pamphlets over the crowd of 10 people
I heard the shots last night and watched as paramedics tried to save this young man. I didn’t know him personally but it’s a shame he didn’t make it, he was too young. My condolences to his friends and family. May he RIP.
Let me guess when the police came to your door you said you saw or heard nothing. Same thing with your neighbors. I guess everyone in Meadowood is blind and deaf.
I’d hazard a guess and say that he’d probably still be alive had decided to become a productive member of society instead of a gang member. Just a guess, though.
People, stop being so heartless. Regardless of what he is or is not, he is a human being(a young one at that) he lost his life and that is someones child. People are so quick to judge and dont know shit about that young man.
Heart goes out to his family.
Human – yes.
Someones child – yes.
Young – yes.
Gun in one hand, drugs in the other – yes.
Attempting to sell drugs on someone else’s turf – yes.
The wrong thing to do – yes.
Dead – yes.
This is the problem…. while you actually have a respect for life, these fools running around banging and hustling have absolutely none for it. Had he not died his first instinct would have been to go kill the fool or someone in the general proximity of the person who shot him…. but since he did die his family and friends will seek street justice perpetuating the problem.
The great king of the jungle once taught a young Simba about the circle of life. That is the thought process involved here. Kill or be killed. Settle violence with violence. It is how they are raised, how they will raise their kids until they die or are imprisoned, and will continue to be until a light goes off in their head and they actually choose the right path. All the help and opportunity in the world doesnt make a difference until a simple cboice to choose the social path that most follow.
People are just so mean and judge without knowing facts! I knew this young man and I will say pray for his family and their loss so sad. RIP Delmonte.
Live by the sword. Die by the sword. Go to any news stand and look at so many of the magazines targeting young black kids. So many have a guy pictured on the front tatted out looking like a thug killer. Listen to the messages of many Rap and Hip Hop songs. Answer why black kids are the leading killer of other black kids in this country. It has got to stop. Everyone needs to step up and stop it. The black community need to accept their share of the blame and stop always claiming foul and attempting to justify and rationalize anti-social behavior. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Kids and young people are getting dead at an alarming rate. It needs to stop. Eveyone needs to be held accountable for their actions.
