Trial begins in 2012 Mount Vernon double killing
Three years after a double killing rocked the Mount Vernon neighborhood, the
trial of the defendant has begun in Baltimore Circuit Court.
Quinton Decarlo Bass, 28, whom police have described as a drifter from North
Carolina, is charged with killing Alex Ulrich, 40, and Larry Peterson, a 56
-year-old community activist who died nearly two years after the Aug. 10,
2012, incident.
Assistant State's Attorney Tonya LaPolla told jurors Tuesday that this was a
"case of senseless violence on the streets of this city."
One of the state's key witnesses took the stand Tuesday and said he came
forward with information out of a sense of responsibility.
"It was a senseless act," said Quantae Shawn Garris, who said he was friends
with Bass. "If something happened to my family, I'd want someone to come
forward too."
Ulrich and Peterson were sitting outside Peterson's bed-and-breakfast on
East Chase Street, adjacent to the Belvedere Hotel, with another man about 4
a.m. when authorities say Bass and another person tried to rob them.
The third victim handed over his wallet, which had nothing in it, and Ulrich
and Peterson didn't have anything to offer the gun-wielding robber, who
left down an alley.
"It could've ended there," LaPolla said. "The defendant and his co-
conspirator could've gotten away, never been apprehended. They may not have
gotten any money, but it could have stopped there."
Authorities say Bass returned and opened fire with a 9 mm handgun. Seven
shots were fired, sending the three men scrambling to get inside the bed-and
-breakfast.
Ulrich died that morning; Peterson was shot several times and seriously
wounded. LaPolla said the gunshot injuries "slowly killed him," and he died
in May 2014.
Bass' attorney, Assistant Public Defender Thomas McComiskey, told jurors to
scrutinize the state's case.
"I'm gonna do something lawyers don't do — I'm going to shut up. I'm going
to let you see the evidence, and when you're done seeing that evidence, it
is my firm belief that you're going to realize there's only one appropriate
result for this trial, and that's for you to come back with a verdict of not
guilty," McComiskey said.
Police flooded the neighborhood with officers after the shooting. On Aug. 31
, 2012, two patrol officers approached a group of five people who were
drinking alcohol in East Mount Vernon Park. Bass was carrying a handgun, and
Garris was charged with having a knife.
According to Garris' testimony, he reached out to police on his own after
Bass told him that he had ditched a weapon he was known to carry, in favor
of a different weapon, because he had used the other in a robbery and
shooting.
LaPolla told jurors that Bass explained to Garris that he shot the men
because they had made a wisecrack.
Besides Garris, LaPolla said, the surviving robbery victim, who was not shot
, picked Bass out of a photo lineup and will testify.
The second person who was allegedly with Bass has not been identified or
charged.
Ulrich, a native of Western Maryland, had moved to Baltimore to pursue an
interest in photography. Peterson was a champion for the Mount Vernon
neighborhood and was regarded as an "unofficial mayor." Hundreds turned out
for a vigil after the shootings.
Police previously said Bass came to Baltimore in 2012 and had been staying
in homeless shelters and vacant dwellings. He was convicted of robbery in
North Carolina in 2008, receiving 12 to 15 months in jail. | s*******1 发帖数: 16479 | | s*******1 发帖数: 16479 | | h***a 发帖数: 2720 | 4
