Body of man stabbed to death found in storage container in West Baltimore
BALTIMORE -- The body of a man stabbed to death was found last week in a storage container at a vacant home in West Baltimore, police said Monday.
Officers responded Thursday afternoon to the report of a suspicious package at the 3500 block of Holmes Avenue, where they found a storage container on the porch of a vacant, "emanating a foul smell," Baltimore police said in a news release.
The remains were taken to the medical examiner's office, where the man's death was ruled as a death by stabbing. It's unclear when the man was killed.
The victim was identified only as a man.
A neighbor said she smelled the foul odor—but never imagined authorities would find a man’s body—stabbed and stuffed into a storage bin on the front porch of this home near Mondawmin Mall. More starting at 4 on @wjz https://t.co/9kvjzoLUg9 #Baltimore pic.twitter.com/62LB8MBD9L
