Clay Dell "Skip" Edmonds, a retired mechanic who served in Vietnam with the Marine Corps, died Feb. 4 of Agent Orange-related leukemia at his Woodbine home. He was 63. Mr. Edmonds was born in Baltimore and raised in Lansdowne. He attended Woodlawn High School. "He was 17 and forged his mother's name in order to join the Marine Corps in 1965," said his wife of 14 years, the former Jeanie Pickett. He was assigned as a tank mechanic to an infantry unit in Vietnam. "He volunteered for three tours of duty during the Vietnam War," said a daughter, Taryn Wilson of Bel Air. Mr. Edmonds was discharged from the Marine Corps in 1977 and remained an active reservist until 1994.

A 20-year-old Baltimore woman has been sentenced to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted murder in a pair of shootings in 2008. Authorities say Sirlilar Jewelle Stokes of the 4800 block of Briarclift Ave. shot two men in retaliation for the killing of "close associate" Kenneth Cooper "Cash" Jones the day before. They say Stokes, affiliated with the PDL Bloods gang, was targeting people she believed to be members of the Spider Bloods gang. Two co-defendants, 21-year-old Lavel Edmond and 26-year-old Gerod Damon Lewis, were sentenced to 15 years after pleading guilty to lesser charges.
