Suspect Arrested For Fatal Stabbing Outside Glen Burnie Bar

(Updated at 8:16 p.m.) GLEN BURNIE, MD — A Glen Burnie man is in custody, accused of fatally stabbing a Baltimore man in a fight in the parking lot of a Glen Burnie bar, police said. Aaron Jamal Skipwith, 26, from the 200 block of Bethel Street in Baltimore, was driven to the hospital by "associates" with life-threatening injuries, and later died from his injuries at the hospital on March 29, according to Anne Arundel County Police.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Anne Arundel County Fugitive Apprehension Team located Sylvester Warren George Jr., 35, from the 100 block of Continental Drive in Glen Burnie in Hagerstown. Police took George into custody without incident. The suspect was taken back to Anne Arundel County, where he will be booked and processed for the charges stemming from the murder of Aaron Skipwith.

Police have charged George with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, and dangerous weapon with an intent to injure.

An autopsy determined that "sharp object injuries" were the cause of Skipwith's death, police said. Authorities have not said what type of weapon was used to harm Skipwith.

Officers were called to Medstar Harbor Hospital in Baltimore about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday after Skipwith arrived at the hospital. Police say Skipwith had been at the Sidelines Sports Bar and Grill in the 100 block of Chesapeake Center Court in Glen Burnie earlier that night. After he left the bar, a fight occurred near the parking lot and Skipwith suffered trauma to the upper body.

Several witnesses told police the fight started in the parking lot of Sidelines but later moved to a condo development in the area. A crime scene was located at the condo complex where evidence was recovered and submitted for forensic examination.

Investigators say this was a targeted incident and not a random act of violence.

The Anne Arundel County Police Department’s Fugitive Apprehension Team has been searching for George. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911; he is considered armed and dangerous, police say. Residents who see George should not approach him.

Anyone with information on the murder of Aaron Skipwith is asked to contact the Anne Arundel County Homicide Unit at 410-222-4731.
