Nearly six months after gunfire outside a Harford Road bar left 28-year-old Keyon Smith dead, a Baltimore man is now facing murder charges in the case. Court records show 36-year-old Jimmy Charles has been ordered held without bond after prosecutors filed first and second-degree murder counts against him.
