Police have identified the victim of a fatal shooting in Canton last week, and said two people shot last week have died of their injuries. Alaina Ciara High, 22, was found about 9:30 p.m. Dec. 23 in the 800 block of S. Bouldin St. with multiple gunshot wounds to the head. Witnesses reported hearing the shots and saw a dark-colored vehicle leave the scene. A police source said that High might have been pushed from the vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene. High's last known address was in the 2800 block of E. Biddle St., about two miles from the site of the shooting, and court records show she had been arrested four times in the past six months on drug charges, the most recent arrest coming a week before she was killed.

A 28-year-old man who was on parole was charged with fatally shooting another man who was on his way to a Chinese food carryout last month in Northeast Baltimore. Allen A. Banks faces first-degree murder and handgun charges in the killing of Collin Mazyck, 24, in the 2700 block of Tivoly Ave. on Jan. 17. Detectives arrested Banks, of the 5400 block of Cedonia Ave., on Thursday. The victim's mother, Agnes Mazyck, said homicide detective Bryan Kershaw told her of the arrest Friday. "I'm just glad that they made an arrest, and I'm glad the police handled it because I wouldn't want another mother to feel the way I felt," said Mazyck, 59. Police are still trying to determine a motive in the killing and are exploring the possibility that Mazyck was robbed while he tried to buy a small amount of marijuana, authorities said.

Yesterday, Stokes was mourning the loss of his half-brother, fatally shot in an alley a half-mile from his house. "Someone took someone very special from us - our baby brother," said Stokes, 39. "For someone to do this to him, it's just senseless." To the shooter of Collin Mazyck, Stokes added: "For your sins, you will be punished.

TEMPLE HILLS-- --Out of a small boombox, James Brown is preaching about shaking your moneymaker, getting up and staying on the scene, while the Giant's size 18 feet bounce in steady rhythm on the mat. Way, way up above, the boxer's meaty hands, each the size of a catcher's mitt, punch holes in the humid air. This isn't a place where a champion tries to get to -- it's the kind of place you want to be from. But if someone were to go looking, we're in the no-frills boxing gym housed in the basement of a suburban Washington strip mall, as far away from fame and glory as you can imagine.

Dunbar High School officials did not request a background check on an aide who was charged last week with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy and had a prior conviction for fondling a teen-ager, a school system spokesman said yesterday.The spokesman, Nat Harrington, was unable to say whether Dunbar officials conducted any independent checks on Edward D. "Zeke" Mazyck when they hired him in March 1992.But Mr. Mazyck's criminal history apparently was not unknown to the school system. Baltimore Circuit Court records show an elementary school principal was told in 1990 of the man's conviction for a fourth-degree sexual offense.
