ABC News Reporting – Two teenagers have been arrested after police say they burglarized 51-year-old Kimberly Leto’s home and killed her.
“That it was a 14 and 15-year-old is unimaginable. There is a loss of life and two lives thrown away,” said Baltimore Police Commissioner, Anthony Batts.
Police originally thought the teens were 14 and 15; they have since corrected those numbers and confirm that they are charging 14-year-old Alonzo Gorham-Ramos and 16-year-old Allen Pinkney with Leto’s murder.
“This is a heartbreaking tragedy, on so many levels,” Commissioner Batts said. “Our purpose today is not to claim victory on this arrest, rather it is to limit that such a tragedy occurred in the first place.”
According to police, Gorham-Ramos burglarized Leto’s home back in August.
“To have it so close, just six doors away, that’s really eye opening,” a neighbor told ABC2.
Leto worked down the street from her Ellwood Avenue home at O’Donnell’s Pub. Friends describe her as a lively, caring person. (read more)
