If it's true that what goes around comes around, Crystal Jenkins Jones says she now knows that better than most. Last year, she says, her cousin was one of two people who shot and killed a 72-year-old security guard picking up Chinese food at a carryout on Greenmount Avenue. And on Monday night, Jones' 52-year-old husband, Freddie, was slain in a robbery at the same place. "The death last year happened from a family member of mine," Jones, 43, said Wednesday, standing in a nearby parking lot. "It'll come back to you if somebody takes a life from someone, and it just so happened a life was taken from me. " Baltimore homicide detectives canvassed the Better Waverly, Harwood and Abell neighborhoods of North Baltimore on Wednesday morning in hopes of drumming up tips in the killing of Freddie Jones Jr., an Army veteran and shuttle-bus driver at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Working near the Inner Harbor has its advantages around mealtime. In addition to the restaurants and food stalls in Harborplace, there are numerous eateries for blocks in any direction. One of the more exotic options is Afghan Kabob, which opened four months ago in a sunny space at the corner of Lombard and Charles streets. The menu is small, and so is the space in this glorified carryout. But the food and service far exceed the quality of the average glorified carryout. In fact, both are better than some of the more formal places I've been to in the neighborhood.

A 52-year-old man died after being shot during a robbery at a carryout restaurant in Better Waverly on Monday night, renewing concerns in the community about the crime connected to the beleaguered business. The Yau Brothers carryout, in the 2900 block of Greenmount Ave., was closed Tuesday, as it was after similar shooting incidents in the past two years: In 2010, 72-year-old security guard Charles Bowman was fatally shot in a robbery there, a year after three men were shot following a fight that broke out inside.
