City police identified Wednesday night's homicide victim and said a man who was shot last week died from his injuries. Yesterday morning, police learned that Theodore E. Moore, 44, had died from injuries he suffered Jan. 23 when he was shot while standing next to his vehicle at North Pulaski Street and Edmondson Avenue. Police said a man wearing a hooded sweat shirt fired several shots at Moore, then got into a green vehicle and left. Police also said the man found fatally shot Wednesday in the Mosher neighborhood was James McKoy, 46, of the 900 block of Franklintown Road. McKoy, who was on probation, was found near St. Edward's Roman Catholic Church, suffering from at least one bullet wound to the head. With the city amid a spate of violence, the Baltimore chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will lead an anti-violence rally called "Voices Against Violence" at noon today at War Memorial Plaza.

City jury convicts man in 2007 fatal shooting
3
A Baltimore jury convicted a 42-year-old city man late Thursday in a December 2007 killing, according to the city state's attorney's office. Ronald Cox of the 2800 block of Evergreen Ave. was convicted of first-degree murder and weapons charges in the death of Todd Dargan, 25. Cox is to be sentenced March 25. Dargan was shot in the 900 block of N. Caroline St. and died at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Minutes after the shooting, detectives stopped Cox, who was driving a 2006 Mercedes but was not wearing a seat belt, prosecutors said. A handgun in the trunk was later determined to be the murder weapon. Witnesses identified a passenger in the Mercedes as the shooter, but that man was tried and acquitted this month, prosecutors said.
Fells Point lounge owner plans a community night

A day after his Fells Point restaurant was fined $3,100 by the city liquor board and a city councilman chastised the place for operating as a pseudo-nightclub, the owner said he is opening his doors to the community for an appreciation event tonight. Timothy Dean, owner of TD Lounge, which was formerly Timothy Dean Bistro, said he is inviting Councilman James B. Kraft and members of the Fells Point Community Association to his establishment in the 1700 block of Eastern Ave. beginning at 5 p.m. Kraft and a couple of Dean's neighbors spoke out against the restaurant at Thursday's liquor board hearing, accusing the place of violating its zoning requirement by having a DJ and dancing on weekends. Kraft had asked Dean to cancel an event planned for tonight. Dean said he decided to change the format of the event to better work with his neighbors and Kraft. He disputes that there is any dancing and said that people come to his lounge for the food. Kraft said at the liquor board hearing that neighbors have complained of loud music and long lines outside Dean's place since it switched in June from a high-end bistro to a lounge.
