6:03 pm
crime was completely compliant with his terms of supervision as set by the state. >> one would think if he was that high of a risk, he could have considered some sort of home detention. but that's sort of after the fact. >> reporter: maryland inmates typically serve a little more than half of their sentences before being released. crosby was supposed to be on supervision until 2013. at city police headquarters, mike hellgren, wjz eyewitness news. vic? >> mike, thank you. crosby faces 23 charges in connection with the attack on the little girl. more violence at an often- troubled city carry out more. >> baltimore city police looking for at least three gunmen who shot a man and fled the scene. it happened at the yao brothers. 52-year-old freddie jones, jr., died after being rushed to the hospital. it is the third shooting in or near that shop in recent
