A nine-day crime spree in Baltimore has culminated in a first-degree murder charge for 52-year-old Brian Burrows.

He faces a total of 21 charges, encompassing murder, armed robbery, and firearm offenses. Additionally, Burrows had an active probation violation warrant from a previous armed robbery conviction, for which he had been sentenced to 20 years with 13 suspended.
