On August 3 at 1:30 a.m. DFC M. Quinn responded to a home in the 9300 block of Greenwood Avenue in North Beach for a reported stabbing.
Upon arrival, she observed the 26-year-old male victim holding his lower abdominal area and his hands were bloody. He advised that three black males with masks on their faces pushed their way into his home after he opened the door. There was a scuffle and the victim said he was stabbed.
The victim was able to pull the mask off one of the suspects and identify him. He told police that the three suspects had been walking in the street outside his home earlier in the day and appeared to be attempting to call the victim into the backyard, but he did not go.
Investigation developed the identity of two of the suspects and Det. M. Fitzgerald of C.I.T. arrested Shaquille G. Brooks, 20 of Chesapeake Beach, and Taevon R. Hamlin, 17 of North Beach, and charged both with first degree assault and first degree burglary.
Hamlin has been charged as an adult. The identity of the third suspect is still being investigated. The victim, who suffered minor injuries, refused medical treatment.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. N. DeFelice of C.I.T. at 410-535-1600 on extension 2669.
