In fourth trial, man found guilty in 2015 murder of security guard
BALTIMORE MD July 27 2019
The man charged in the 2015 killing of a security guard in Baltimore has been found guilty of second-degree murder in his fourth trial.
Keith Davis Jr., 27, was charged in the killing of Kevin Jones, 22, in June 2015. Jones had been on his way to work as a security guard at Pimlico Race Course.
Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby released a statement shortly after the verdict was reached, saying, “This case has been — and was always — about the pursuit of justice for Kevin Jones, and I am so pleased a jury saw fit to once again hold his assailant fully accountable for his senseless death. I truly hope Kevin’s loved ones can finally close this gruesome chapter of grief and find their path to healing.
“I must applaud my team, especially Assistant State’s Attorneys Patrick Seidel and Cynthia Banks, as well as our partners at BPD, for their commitment to justice after four arduous trials, many challenges and attempted distractions.”
Davis’ wife tweeted that “a motion for a new trial will be filed.”
The case previously ended in two mistrials and an overturned conviction.
