A 36-year-old Rosedale man has been charged in the fatal shooting of another man in Southeast Baltimore on Independence Day, according to local authorities. The Baltimore Police Department has identified Davon Kelly as the suspect in the death of 38-year-old Aaron Hill, as reported by FOX Baltimore.
