ESSEX, Md. — Baltimore County Police have made an arrest in the stabbing death of 63-year-old Keith Yeager.
55-year-old Gregory Hare surrendered to officers on Friday.
On Monday, October 16, Yeager was discovered suffering from multiple stab wounds in the Unit Block of Eastern Boulevard in Essex.
He was taken to an area hospital where he later died.
"We've had a few break in and cars and stuff but that doesn't wear on me like someone actually stabbing somebody 'cause you know that takes a certain type of person,” said Michael Phillips who lives in the neighborhood.
Phillips lives down the street from where the crime happened.
"I was sitting on my back porch smoking a cigarette and saw some flashing lights but thought it was just the assisted living because the ambulance comes quite a bit,” said Phillips.
"When our officers arrived they located a man 63-years-old who had been stabbed multiple times,” said Joy Lepola-Stewart, Baltimore County Police Department Director of Public Affairs.
"This is not an area that we would be frequently called to in reference to an assault happening,” said Stewart.
Hare is currently being held without bond and is charged with first-degree murder.
