Baltimore County detectives are investigating a double homicide in Woodlawn from over the weekend.

Police said officers responded Saturday night to a call about cardiac arrest in the 3400 block of Aurora Lane. Paramedics pronounced Angel Price, 23, and Daryle Carter, 18, dead at the scene. Police found two young children at the scene and they were unharmed.

Authorities declined to elaborate on what information changed to declare the deaths a homicide and said they were awaiting autopsy results before making further comments.

The double homicide follows an uptick in violent deaths in Baltimore County in the past month and is concerning to local officials. Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough, Towson Precinct Capt. L. Schroeder, and County Councilman Mike Ertel are planning a meeting to discuss the uptick at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at Babcock Presbyterian Church, 8240 Loch Raven Boulevard.

In the early-morning hours of Dec. 8, police found a 37-year-old man stabbed to death in his apartment near Towson and Loch Raven. On Dec. 17, a shooting followed by a fiery crash left one Baltimore City man dead and nine injured — again in the Towson area near Loch Raven.

On Christmas Eve, police responded to a domestic call at Ross Ridge Apartments in Rosedale and found 4-year-old Jacobi Marcelle and two other gunshot wound victims. The other two, a mother and daughter, survived, but Jacobi died of his injuries. Police arrested his father, Mark Jones, and charged him with murder and child abuse.

More recently, police arrested 21-year-old Xander Fried and charged him with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of his mother, Melanie Fried, on New Year’s Eve in Pikesville. Melanie Fried was found “hunched over a chair with multiple stab wounds to her chest and hands,” court records show. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to charging documents, Xander Fried called police Tuesday and told them he had killed his mother.

Homicide offenses have decreased from a zenith of 35 cases in 2022 to 25 cases in 2024, according to Baltimore County police data. But the county had six homicides in December, the most it had logged in a single month since late 2022.
