A 30-year-old Pikesville man was accused Friday of firing the shot that killed a liquor store owner during an attempted robbery in July.
Robert Napolean Crowder Jr. of the 4600 block of Old Court Road faces charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy in the death of Joon Am Kang, 57, on July 16 at Putty Hill Liquors in Fullerton.
Baltimore County police pressed identical charges Friday against another man, Randolph Lee Hughes, 29, whose last known address was in the 1100 block of Cedarcroft Road in the city.
Four other men have been charged with those crimes in the case, and all six are suspected of being connected to a string of 16 robberies and attempted robberies of convenience and liquor stores in Baltimore County and Baltimore City between July 4 and July 30.
The four whose charges were announced Thursday are Gregory Jerome Horne, 23; Keith Joshua Johnson Jr., 24; Abayomi Nikomo McKenzie, 25; and Tavon Anton Shuler, 30.
All six men are being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
Bill Toohey, a police spokesman, said Crowder is believed to have killed Kang. Shuler was with Crowder at the time of the shooting, Toohey said.
