A man was shot in the face and killed Saturday afternoon near the intersection of N. Jefferson Ave. & Chester St. The stop sign above; defaced with a bumper sticker advertising “Back On Your Block” Bail Bonds, is all too telling. Just a few feet from where the murder took place. The irony is nearly all murders in Baltimore are committed by criminals with long prior records, with many of them getting arrested and repeatedly ending up “Back On The Block” after posting bail, and committing more crimes while awaiting trial.
