BALTIMORE — It was a marijuana sale turned deadly drug robbery. The victim shot to death wasn’t even involved in the deal.
Michael McCoy was at the Lochearn home of two men prosecutors say were selling marijuana to use a recording studio in their basement. He was waiting for a ride when an altercation with one of the robbers took place, leaving him dead.
Five men have been convicted and sentenced to prison for their roles in the 2019 homicide. But the two men prosecutors say were selling pot never faced charges, and prosecutors say they won’t — despite their testimony at one defendant’s trial that they took the drugs from the scene and tried to destroy surveillance footage.
