Ex-boyfriend Charged In Killings

Suspect Lived In Basement Apartment Of Annapolis House Where Man And Woman Were Slain

He described his father as a generous man who spent 22 years in the Navy as a diesel engineer, leaving the military in 1993. Curtis Gardner said he believed the lease on the Goodrich Road home was in his father's name, and that Johnson was living there rent-free.

David Coleman, a neighbor on Goodrich Road, said police canvassing the block told him Johnson and Gardner shared the house after they broke up. They agreed to date other people, "but they were not supposed to bring anybody over to the house, but she did," he said the investigator told him.

Anthony has been the subject of an outpouring of concern from neighbors, who described him as a polite child who attended the Phoenix Center, a school for special-needs students, and frequented the local Boys and Girls Club in Annapolis.

Fowlkes was a resident of Obery Court in Annapolis, an apartment complex that is mostly torn down or boarded up. Court records show he was convicted of robbery, a fourth-degree sex offense and battery more than 15 years ago.

"He was a good guy. He never hung out," said a woman at the complex who was acquainted with him but who would not give her name.

Little was known about Johnson. She had no criminal record, and computerized records indicate she may have lived for a time at Sarah's House, a Fort Meade shelter for women and families in recent years. A spokeswoman was not immediately available to comment on Thursday.
