Police seek suspect in fatal shooting

Baltimore police are searching for a suspect in Monday night's fatal shooting of Sean Eames, who was killed on Darley Avenue. 

The suspect, Ottus Maximum Savoy, pleaded guilty to assault in August 2008 and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with all but five years suspended. He is currently on probation, according to electronic court records.

Here is a statement from police:

"The Baltimore Police Department is seeking the whereabouts of 18 year-old Ottus Maximum Savoy for the fatal-shooting that occurred within the 1600 Blk of Darley Avenue.

On August 1, 2011, officers responded just after 11 pm to the 1600 Blk of Darley Avenue for report of a shooting.  Once they arrived they discovered the victim, 24 year-old Sean Eames, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the torso.  He was transported to the Johns Hopkins Medical Facility and succumbed to his injuries just before 1:30 am.

Investigation has lead detectives to identify 18 year-old Ottus Savoy as the individual responsible for the homicide and we are now seeking the public's help in locating him.

To give police a tip:

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is encouraged to call Metro CrimeStoppers at 1-877-7LOCKUP.  If spotted do not approach, and instead call 911 immediately, and provide his location and clothing description.

About Peter Hermann
Peter Hermann started covering news for The Baltimore Sun in 1990, first in Anne Arundel County and, starting in 1994, reporting on the Baltimore Police Department. In 2001, he was assigned to Jerusalem as the Baltimore Sun's Middle East correspondent. He returned in 2005 as an assistant city editor overseeing crime coverage. In 2008, Peter returned to the beat as a daily reporter and blogger. A recent BBC report featured him in a segment on the harsh realities of covering crime in Baltimore.

Coverage will focus on crime trends, problems in neighborhoods in the city and elsewhere, profiles of victims and police officers and try to offer readers a fresh perspective on one of the most vexing issues facing Baltimore and its future.

Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore. He was recognized as the best reporter in Baltimore by the City Paper in 2010 and by Baltimore Magazine in 2011.
