Murder #258 for 2020

BALTIMORE, MD. – The coldblooded daytime murder of bus driver Marcus Parks on the city streets of Baltimore City on October 8, 2020 by a convicted felon wanted in Virginia has resulted in the arrest of two people and marked the two hundred & fifty eighth homicide thus far in Baltimore City during 2020.  

The ink does not get dry on the toe tag of homicide victims in the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of Maryland before more dead bodies are delivered to the cold storage to join the conveyor belt line of victims waiting for autopsies.

Four more killings were rung up by the stone-cold killers of Baltimore City over the following two days.

Baltimore City Police Commissioner Harrison, Mayor Young, and Representative from the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force and MTA Police announced the arrests of the two suspects in the murder of MTA Bus Driver Marcus Parks.

Police report that the arrests of the suspects sought for the murder of 51-year-old Marcus Parks that occurred on October 8, 2020, in the 1200 block of East Fayette Street, are 24-year-old Cameron Kane Silcott (DOB 07/31/1996) of 700 Linnard Street, Baltimore, Md.,  and 27-year-old Nichelle Greene.

Investigators transported Silcott and Green to Central Booking Intake Facility where they both have been charged with 1st and 2nd degree murder, 1st and 2nd degree assault and several handgun violations.

On October 8, 2020, at approximately 10:32 A.M., a Southeast District Patrol officer was in the area of the 1200 block of E. Fayette Street when he heard gunshots.  The officer responded to the area where he saw and chased the shooting suspect who eluded the officer.

When the officer returned to the scene of the shooting, he found Marcus Parks, a MTA bus driver suffering from gunshot wounds.  The victim was pronounced dead on the scene by medics.

Homicide detectives are investigating this incident and have learned that the victim and the suspect (passenger on the bus) were arguing when the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the victim.  The suspect then fled on foot.

Silcott is charged with the following:

  • First-degree murder
  • Second-degree murder
  • Attempted first-degree murder
  • Use of a firearm in a felony violent crime
  • First and second-degree assault
  • Handgun on person
  • Loaded handgun on person

Two weeks prior to the murder of the bus driver, Silcott was charged by Maryland Transit Administration Police Officer Andre Jackson with possession of a handgun on his person and a handgun in a vehicle, and a warrant was issued for his arrest on Sept. 23, 2020.
