The federal indictment describes a group of gang members meeting July 2 in the 1600 block of Normal Ave. in East Baltimore before picking up Randle near Pulaski and Penrose streets.
They had with them a loaded Colt Anaconda .44-caliber Magnum handgun, court papers said.
That day, Pearson called Lackl, 38, from two phones, according to court documents and sources.
Police said Lackl received several phone calls about the beige Cadillac he was selling for $1,800. About 8:45 p.m., a caller told Lackl, who was standing outside with two little girls, that he couldn't find his home in the 8000 block of Philadelphia Road and that he should walk out toward the street, police said.
According to court documents, Williams drove up in a green 1994 Chevrolet Camaro and Cornish shot Lackl three times as he approached.
According to the documents, Pearson and his girlfriend Tammy Sherie Graham, 24, sat in a car in a parking lot across the street and watched as police and paramedics arrived. Graham, who faces state charges, was not named in yesterday's indictment.
