(SALISBURY, MD) – Maryland State Police homicide investigators are searching for suspects in connection with the overnight murder of a man in his Wicomico County home.
The victim is identified as James L. H. Skinner, 20, of the 1100-block of Bryn Mawr Avenue, Salisbury, Md. A cause of death has not been determined. His body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy to determine the cause and verify the manner of death.
Salisbury Police Department officers responded to an emergency call at the victim’s residence, shortly after 3:30 a.m. today. Officers found the victim with blood on him, lying in the entrance to the home. He was transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased.
The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit was requested to respond and conduct the investigation. Homicide Unit investigators are being assisted by detectives and uniformed officers from the Salisbury Police Department, as well as State Police crime scene technicians and investigators from the Gang Enforcement Unit.
Details are few at this point in the investigation. Investigators believe it is possible several suspects are involved, but no descriptions are available at this time.

Governor Hogan needs to get more aggressive in crime enforcement and settlement. There are a LOT of seniors out here willing to provide information (that they may witness) but not if it puts them as risk. So, who does it? I don't think the seniors care. They simply want crime to go down and live a peaceful life.
ReplyDeleteWho can we call/notify?
do you even follow the news? Just this week governor hogan added 100 troopers. Far more than omalley ever did.
DeleteMore storm troopers. More revenue.

ReplyDeleteYou couldn't be more wrong I am 67 years old and always step up and have notified SPD and other departments of anything I have seen, heard or know to help. I also have tried in vain to call attention to Salisbury's unsolved murders yes there are many, and the missing for years. The only response and help I get is from the Wicomico Cty Library!
ReplyDelete100 in Annapolis. I bet he will feel safer.
ReplyDeleteButt, Butt, Butt crime is down in Salisbury. Just ask Jake Day and Jim Ireton. Those stupid clowns have no idea what is going on in this city. Run them the Hell out of town please!!
ReplyDeleteThis is getting old! Do you have something to say more productive.

Crime Solvers don't prevent crime you idiot, strict laws and criminal enforcement does. An eye for an eye. They only get one appeal and then put a bullet between their eyes!!

Thanks Chuck Cook now go troll back on that Blubber Bloggers Blog!
We will see a press release about the stabbing that happened less than 2 hours after this happened? Will SPD try to hide that fact also?
ReplyDeleteCarry yourself a nice gun. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
ReplyDeleteWhat does 100 more troopers in annapolis do for the shore? Write more tickets around the bay bridge?
ReplyDeleteWhen is gov hogan going to alliw concealed carry we need it now what you say larry.
ReplyDeleteGovernor Hogan can only sign a bill into law. The bill has to be introduced and approved first, by (caring) lawmakers, before it makes it's way to the Governor's desk for signature.
ReplyDeleteWhy bring in Troopers that know nothing about the area. Is SPD really that incompetent???
ReplyDeleteMust really build the morale of Babs detectives to have Troopers come in and take over all their major crimes. Grow a set Babs you are better than that. Maybe Jimmy called for this his days are numbered trust Day will crush him in next election
They already do. Some troopers drive four hours here from the mountains. Drive around for an hour and head home. Hard days work I tell you. Hell. One trooper who lives in Pittsville did the same thing just to the mountains and back.
DeleteGut wrenching...Sounds very familiar to my sons murder that took place 5 years ago in Wicomico County. My son was 19 found dead inside the entrance of a home in Hebron. To this day my sons murder remains unsolved
ReplyDeleteMartinez your husband knows the truth ask him. Why was he is shot in Baltimore ?? Your family needs to tell the truth and then the murderer will be caught. OH was this one of MSP Homicide cases. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Really they did not solve it lol.
ReplyDeleteNot lol. Cops probly killed him. I wish she'd tell her story. Maybe someone can help.
DeleteI have shared my story what would you like to know I will share any info
DeleteMy husband? My husband was with me in Florida when my son was killed. It wasn't in Baltimore, it was in Hebron
ReplyDeleteI live in Delaware. We have the State Police Department, some City Departments, and a few one horse town cops. That's it. Annapolis at last count has 5 police departments (State, County, City, General Services, Transportation, etc.). Why????
ReplyDeleteThe people doing the policing should be assigned by need. The people overseeing them (motor pool, HR, etc). As for Wicomico, the County should take over the SPD and stop letting it be used as a political tool by the mayor. They might even save a ton of overhead money in the process.
