Police Release Video Of Suspects In Tattoo Shop Employee Murder

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Police have released video of two suspects that investigators believe were involved in the murder of musician and Baltimore Tattoo Museum employee Jim Forrester.

"They're not the most perfect pictures," says Baltimore Police spokesman T.J. Smith. "But if you know who these individuals are, you know who they are. You can tell by their walk, their height, who they're hanging with, you know. How they wear their clothes and the clothing that they have on."

Forrester was shot to death outside the museum Monday evening around 7 p.m. He had stepped outside to speak to his wife on the phone. She heard the moment he was shot.

"She heard him say, 'Get away from me. Get away from me' a couple of times and heard some noise and commotion, the phone drop and then no more communication with him," museum owner Chris Keaton told WJZ.

"She called inside to have us check on him and somebody discovered him on the ground out there."

Police say it looks like it was a robbery.
