BALTIMORE — After six days on the run, Baltimore Police arrested a 55-year-old man wanted in the murder of a local gospel radio host.
Richard S. Green is accused of killing Tyra Womack on June 10, in front of her home on Albion Avenue in Northeast Baltimore. The two reportedly lived in the same block.
He was taken into custody after trying to run from a bus stop in the 8600 block of Philadelphia Road in Rosedale on Tuesday, Baltimore City Homicide Sergeant, Bob Cherry, told WMAR-2 News.
