BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. — Baltimore County detectives have arrested a 31-year-old man in connection with the fatal shooting of Tracey Hankins Jr., 29, that occurred in early August on Liberty Road. Kevin Martin, the suspect, was taken into custody on November 25 and is being held without bond at the Baltimore County Detention Center, authorities said.
