(SALISBURY, MD) – Maryland State Police homicide investigators arrested two Salisbury men in connection with the fatal shooting of Keonte Gaskins that occurred earlier this month in Salisbury in a Wicomico County apartment complex.

The suspects identified and arrested are Gerald Ogress Savage, Jr., 18, of the 400 block of Brookridge Drive in Salisbury and Joshue Isiah Perry, 18, of the 400 block of S. Kaywood Drive in Salisbury. Both Savage and Perry are charged with first and second degree murder, use of a firearm in a violent crime, possession of firearm and several other charges. Additional arrests are pending.

Savage and Perry were arrested without incident on Sunday, May 29, 2016 around 12:00 noon in Salisbury. They are currently being held at the Wicomico County Detention Center without bond.

On May 11, 2016, the body of Keonte Gaskins, 21, of no fixed address, was found in the outdoor stairwell of the Village of Mitchell Pond Apartment Complex on Parsons Road in Salisbury. Residents from the apartment complex called 9-1-1 after making the discovery. Emergency medical providers pronounced Gaskins deceased at the scene.

Well 7:41 it's not like it's rocket science or anything. First we have the relative killed at the party at the flop house motel. Then someone shot in the house on Pierce St. Then this one killed and shortly after his brother arrested for the murder on Pierce.

Obviously they weren't good boys. Good boys don't rob and murder people.

So let me get this straight the press release reads MSP Homicide called in to assist SPD. Hmmmmmmmmmmm funny I don't see any reference in the press release about SPD or the WCSO. Yup MSP glory hounds. Makes me sick. If you don't wear a Stetson you are not a cop in their eyes. It comes from the top down. Remember that brown clown when a cop comes to your aid. When you are bleeding on street funny you really don't care what badge they wear or how big an agency they work for. You are no better then anyone else who puts a badge on never forget it.

Who cares, whoever did it got a bunch of worthless peices of crap off the street. Perry was involved in a robbery as well per the daily times. They have no conscience. It's scary. I hope other young people learn from these things,and parents learn to raise your kids right!
