Police are still searching for clues in the murder of a star high school basketball player who was gunned down in the streets of Baltimore.
John Crowder, 17, was found shot July 5 on Garrett Ave. near Coldstream Homestead Montebello. He played forward for Our Lady of Mount Carmel High School in Essex and was preparing for a July tour with the Nike Baltimore Elite AAU team.
Crowder's murder is among 70 percent of this year's homicides that remain unsolved, according to a Fox 45 investigation.
Police noted that a number of homicides from previous years have been cleared in 2010. But even with that number factored in, Baltimore's clearance rate this year is lower than the national average.
