Just Another Baltimore Shooting
Note: on the same street 23 year old Stephen Pitcairn, a breast cancer research specialist at Johns Hopkins University, was stabbed to death just before 11PM last weekend after handing over his backpack, wallet and iPhone to his assailants. Cairn, who spoke fluent Japanese after spending a year in Japan working with stem cells, was poised to enroll in medical school.
Pitcairn was murdered two days before his 24th birthday.
Originally from Jupiter Florida, Pitcairn was on the phone with his mom when the two assailants approached. Tragically, Pitcairn's mother listened helplessly on the other end as her son was stabbed and left dying in the street just four blocks from his apartment.
Pitcairn's death was the sixth homicide this year in Charles Village, a neighborhood that had been considered one of the safest in the city.
