A federal grand jury here has indicted five members of an alleged drug gang that is suspected of operating in Pimlico in Northwest Baltimore, charging one member with slaying a street-level distributor and attempting to kill a potential witness in the case, court records show.
Quentin Morgan, 33, could be eligible for the death penalty if he is convicted of slaying Angelo Howard, 31, of the 5200 block of Denmore Ave., who was gunned down in June. Morgan was also charged with the attempted murder of the potential witness in August, according to the indictments, made public Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore.
The charges are part of a broad cocaine conspiracy and racketeering case that centers on a gang allegedly run by Preston West, 32, who is charged with Morgan in the attempted murder.
