Family hasn't heard from detectives since day of shooting; police, prosecutors say investigation remains open
Every month since her brother was shot and killed by police last year, Priscilla Johnson has gone back to the Northwest Baltimore neighborhood where he died to hand out fliers, begging for anyone who saw something to come forward.What the family knows, gleaned largely from news reports, is that Dennis Gregory was a bystander who was shot by detectives who were aiming for his friend, Glenn Brooks. And they know from the autopsy that Gregory was hit four times in the back.
What they didn't know is that Gregory was acting as a confidential informant that night and that it was his call to police to report that Brooks had a handgun that summoned officers to the scene in the first place. The revelation is contained for the first time in court documents filed in federal court late last month and obtained by The Baltimore Sun.

is Webster back in Balt?
Let a cop get shot and its national news....cops shoot an unarmed citizen IN THE BACK and well, this is the first time I've heard about it....I guess there won't be a house to house warrantless search for HIS killers, huh? No roadblocks on every street searching for the killers, huh? And all-out canvasing of the surrounding areas won't be happening either. He was merely a citizen. And, unfortunately for the deceased, an ally of the killers. And "killers", or "murderers" if you prefer, is the ONLY appropriate term. THAT'S some serious "protecting and serving"...
