(BALTIMORE, MD) — State Police and members of a fugitive task force, assisted by Baltimore Police Department officers, today arrested a fugitive wanted for the murder of a Baltimore County man whose body was found three weeks ago in Dorchester County.
The suspect is identified as James A. Reddick, Jr., 29, of Baltimore, Md. Maryland State Police have charged Reddick with first degree murder, second degree murder, conspiracy to commit second degree murder, first degree assault, use of a firearm in the commission of a violent crime, robbery, reckless endangerment, and six charges related to the illegal possession and transportation of a handgun.

Reddick was wanted for the murder of Deontae V. Belcher, 25, of Rosedale, Md. Belcher was found deceased in a wooded area in Dorchester County on May 1, 2020. He had been last seen on April 11th and his mother reported him missing to Baltimore County Police on April 18, 2020.

ReplyDeleteDid anyone else find this article somewhat confusing?
ReplyDeleteThe title was. It read like the fugitive was found dead.
DeleteNorthwest Woodsman: Poor Deonte, I’m sure that he was just an innocent victim, slain for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A valuable member of society who will be greatly missed.
ReplyDeleteOh come on now...Shouldn't we be spending our time and tax dollars arresting Business owners, trying to feed their families, and Jews and Christians practicing their religions, instead of running around, wasting time, and tax dollars chasing down citizens just for murdering somebody? Come on, what's happened to this Country.....
ReplyDelete1127 is right, all business owners will probably be tased and arrested for trying to survive. we are gonna need thousands of more police but they will be pissed off when they find out all the donut stores are closed.
