Randallstown Youth Fatally Stabbed, Pikesville Teen Charged: Police

MILFORD MILL, MD — After a 15-year-old was stabbed to death Wednesday night in Milford Mill, police said a Pikesville teen has been charged with murder.

Moses Ayele Lorenso, of the 4100 block of Hanwell Road in Randallstown, was found after 7:30 p.m. on Twin Lakes Court at Church Lane, where authorities said they responded to a report of an unconscious person.

Lorenso was lying in the middle of the road with a stab wound to the upper body, according to police, who said he was taken to Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

Markel Justin Dates, 17, of the unit block of Tentmill Lane, was charged as an adult with first-degree murder, officials said Thursday.

Police allege Lorenso and Dates knew one another and had been involved in an ongoing dispute when they came across each other while walking on Twin Lakes Court Wednesday night.

They argued verbally, then the fight turned physical, police said. It ended with Dates allegedly pulling out a knife and stabbing Lorenso, then running from the scene, according to authorities.

Dates was being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center without bail.
