Sketch released in killing
City detectives released this week a sketch of a man they want to question in connection with a homicide in Remington, police said.
Detectives did not release a name and police would not say whether the person is a suspect.
"We want this guy for questioning," said Agent Donny Moses, a police spokesman, who encouraged anyone who believes they might know the man to call police at 410-396-2100.
Police found the homicide victim, Nancy Schmidt, 74, about 5:30 a.m. April 21. She had been stabbed repeatedly in an upstairs room of her Remington home. At the time police said she was the victim of a botched predawn burglary.
The crime has shaken the Remington area, where such crimes are unusual.
Joan Floyd, president of the Remington Neighborhood Alliance, said police distributed copies of the flier at their neighborhood association meeting Tuesday.
"They said if anybody saw this person to call the police," she said. "They said by all means put it out there on every telephone pole in the neighborhood."
"We have a couple people who are quite terrified," Floyd said.

One killed, 2 hurt in shooting
Three men were shot, one of them fatally, last night on a street near Fells Point, a police spokesman said. The identities of the victims were being withheld pending notification of family members.
No arrest had been made, and police said they knew of no motive for the triple shooting.
Shortly before 9 p.m., Southeastern District police officers were patrolling in their marked cruisers when they heard the sound of multiple gunshots coming from the 300 block of S. Dallas Court in the Perkins Homes neighborhood, said police spokesman Officer Troy Harris.
Harris said that when police arrived, they found one man lying on the ground and another man inside a nearby house, and later learned that the third victim had been driven to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where the other victims also were treated.
One was shot in the chest, and the other two were shot in the leg.
Harris said the man who was shot in the chest died about an hour later. The conditions of the other two victims were not available.
The death brought to 71 the number of homicides in the city this year.
