| The city's first murder happened on the 5100 block of Kensington Avenue |
Last night, that block of the city got attention for a much darker (and sadder) reason: That's where the city's first homicide of 2013 occurred.
Officers got a call about a "shooting" on the 5100 block of Kensington just after 6 pm Thursday evening. When they arrived, they found 19-year-old Lamont Steward dead with a gunshot wound to the chest.
Cops say detectives have already tracked down and arrested the suspects, whom a spokeswoman describes as a juvenile black male and a 20-year-old black male. She says no charges have yet been filed.
