From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
Two men are in custody after being charged in the May 30, 2020, murder of Christopher Markquell Smith in Edgewood.
On Saturday, May 30, 2020, at approximately 12:25 p.m., deputies assigned to the Southern Precinct of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 600 block of Edgewood Road in Edgewood for the report of a shooting. Upon arrival, deputies located Christopher Smith, 22, of Edgewood, suffering from gunshot wounds to the upper body. Deputies immediately began life saving measures in an effort to save his life. Care was assumed by the Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company and transported him to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, where he was later pronounced deceased.
Through investigation, and with cooperation of the community, detectives with the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division developed two suspects, Diantae Williams, 22, and Shamel Ferebee, 20, both from Edgewood. On June 11, 2020, warrants were issued for their arrest. Both are charged with first and second degree murder, and related charges.
On July 1, 2020, Ferebee was arrested without incident in Greenville, North Carolina after a traffic stop was conducted by an officer with the Greenville Police Department, after Ferebee failed to use a turn signal. Then, on July 7, 2020, working on information provided by the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Warrant Apprehension Unit, members of the Rhode Island Violent Fugitive Task Force arrested Williams in Newport, Rhode Island without incident. Both are still in custody and awaiting extradition. They have contacted a criminal lawyer to help them in the case.
“These arrests are a testament to what can happen when law enforcement and the community work together to solve crimes. We also thank all the allied law enforcement agencies that helped with this case,” said Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler. “It’s because of these positive relationships with entities such as the Harford County State’s Attorney’s Office, the Maryland State Police Warrant Apprehension Unit, Rhode Island State Police and the U.S. Marshalls, that we were able to take these dangerous criminals into custody. Their help, along with information and support from our community, has ensured that two murderers will have their day in court.”
The investigation, is ongoing. There are no further details being released at this time. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at 410-836-5430.
Gahler is such a POS……
Why would you say that about this incident? If those guys killed the man then they are guilty of murder and should be charged and tried. That is what a Sheriff is supposed to do. What do you think Gahler should’ve done? In matters such as this, you are the piece of shit….
Couldn’t agree more soul
Where’s the outrage?
Maybe there is no outrage because in this county black lives do not matter….
I expressed outrage even though this is another black on black murder. WTF are you talking about? ALL lives matter and that is just the way it is…reverse racist.
SC
I was merely making the remark that perhaps since HC is mostly white, we forget about the blight of the blacks in this county.
I am NOT a racist and I resent the implication.
Besides, you don’t even reside in this county. How would you know what goes on here now days.
I know what goes on in quite a few places. I am opposed to ALL Democratic Treason against the United States and it doesn’t matter where it happens. Including Harford County. Just for the record, ALL LIVES MATTER because lives matter and if you got to put a color in front of lives matter then you are a racist…
I would just like consistency from the press. As in: If a white man kills a black man, headline: “White man guns down black man!!” If a black man kills a white man, headline: “Man kills another man”
If a black man kill a black man, Headline: “A man was murdered” If a white guy kills another white guy, “Hey Some dude killed another dude.”
