BALTIMORE — An arranged meeting between a man and woman leads to murder in West Baltimore.
Lenora Alston, 35, was shot to death overnight on March 15.
It happened right outside her mother’s home on N. Fulton Avenue.
Charging documents say that’s where she met up with a man nicknamed “Ratchet.”
Investigators were able to access Alston’s iPhone which revealed “Ratchet’s” phone number and Instagram name.
Police linked both to a guy named Reginald Peay.
Detectives got a warrant to ping his phone.
On March 15, Peay was tracked down in the 2300 block of E. North Avenue.
When approached by officers, Peay tried unsuccessfully to get away. In the process he allegedly threw a gun on top of a roof, but police say it was not the murder weapon.
