Fatal Annapolis Shooting Of Baltimore Man Prompts 2 Arrests, Murder Charges: Police

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Police announced that they arrested two suspects Thursday in connection with the fatal Annapolis shooting of a Baltimore man. Officers identified the arrestees as 23-year-old Shammond Taylor and 21-year-old Kenon Jackson, both of Annapolis.

The suspects face multiple charges in last month's killing of 23-year-old Cornell Young, a press release mentioned. Authorities noted that Taylor is up against 23 charges, including first- and second-degree murder. Officials added that Jackson is looking at 13 offenses, the most serious of which is first-degree murder.

Working with the Baltimore Police Department, Annapolis officers arrested Taylor in the 400 block of Baltimore's Eutaw Street. The Annapols Police Department arrested Jackson at the Ordnance Road Correctional Center, where he was already held on unrelated charges.

Authorities took the duo into custody without incident. Both suspects await trial without bond.
