Man beaten at Westport light rail dies; police name other recent victims
City police said a 44-year-old man who was beaten last month at a light rail stop has died from his injuries, while the agency released the identities of several recent homicide victims.
Police said that on Oct. 22, Winslow Thomas walked to a home in the 2200 block of Sidney Ave. and said he had been assaulted at the Westport light rail station in the 2200 block of Kloman St. He was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma center where he was treated for cuts and blunt force injuries and was pronounced dead Wednesday at 9:15 p.m.
Three recent victims of killings this week were also identified.
Police said Jerry Harden, 21, was the man found inside a burning home in the 7000 block of McClean Blvd. in Northeast Baltimore. Harden had been stabbed in the chest prior to the fire being set, an autopsy determined.
Harden is the second person killed this year at the apartment complex, which is near Parkville. Darius Ray, a 20-year-old Marine, was stabbed at a party there in January. A 30-year-old man was also fatally shot nearby in July.
Kevin Anderson, 30, was the man found dead on a sidewalk in the 200 block of S. Woodyear St. just before 3 a.m. Thursday. He was shot in the back and died at shock trauma. The incident happened in the Mt. Clare neighborhood and occurred in the department's Southern District.
Police also identified Malcolm Hill, 53, as the man found shot to death on the front porch of a home in the 2500 block of Robb St. of the Coldstream Homestead Montebello neighborhood where he lived. Police did not provide motives or descriptions of suspects for any of the killings.

Who cares?
Unless it's a white guy killing a black guy or a judge giving a white guy (which I believe includes Latino's when they attack but not when they are attacked) to light a sentence nobody gives a flying duck.
Thanks Democrats. Can't send my kids to your schools, don't feel safe walking your streets and it's not getting better any time soon.
Maybe all they Dems need is another 40 years to get it right.

There is no discernible security at light rail stations or on the light rail itself, for that matter. The death of Winslow Thomas is such a huge waste and shame, it should have been preventable.
