Police arrest suspect in Elkridge homicide

With the help of a witness and a tattoo, Howard County police quickly closed an Elkridge homicide Wednesday night only hours after the killing occurred.

“Sometimes pieces of the puzzle fall together more quickly than others,” said Howard County police spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn. “There was excellent work done in this case not only by our detectives, but also by our patrol units. We?re very pleased with the quick arrest.”
