RadioOnFire.com - Gunfire claimed the life of 3-year-old McKenzie Elliott on August 1, 2014. Two years and almost nine months later, a person has been indicted for her killing.
In a press conference on Wednesday morning, outgoing U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein, along with Baltimore police Commissioner Kevin Davis and ATF Special Agent Daniel Board Jr., announced that 28-year-old Terrell Plummer has been charged with murder.
"Exceptional police officers and prosecutors worked tirelessly and creatively to catch the killer and dismantle his gang because they care about saving lives," Rosenstein said. "The indictment alleges that an armed drug dealer killed McKenzie Elliott, which is no surprise because most murders in Baltimore are committed by armed drug dealers who belong in prison."
Gunfire was exchanged that Friday in August between people in a car and others outside in the 3600 block of Old York Road. Plummer, who is one of seven members of the Old York Money Gang, fired shots that missed his target and struck Elliott.
The young victim was playing outside on the porch of her family's home prior to being shot and killed.
Police said Elliott was one of three people shot.
Plummer and the other six men are indicted on federal drug conspiracy charges. They include conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute controlled substances.
The others indicted in this case are Davonte Rich 22, Trevon Beasley, 23, Tyrone Jamison, 23, Davin Lawson, 25, Calvin Watson, 26 and Tyron Brown, 26. Rosenstein said Brown is still on the loose.
