‘Woman With A Heart Of Gold’: Good Samaritan Stabbed To Death In Baltimore.

A Harford County woman stabbed to death in east Baltimore early Saturday morning after helping a panhandler is being remembered for having a “heart of gold.”

Baltimore police say the 52-year-old was in the car with her husband and his daughter just after midnight, when she rolled down her window to hand money to a woman holding a sign, asking for help to feed her baby.

A good deed suddenly repaid with violence.

“And that’s when an unknown man approached the vehicle, stabbed the woman, and then left the location,” Jeremy Silbert, with the Baltimore Police Department said.

Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh weighed in on Smith’s death.

“We don’t want people destroying other people’s lives,” she said. “This is unconscionable and as I’ve continued to say, one life lost in this city is one life too many.”

Pugh said this is a reminder not to roll down your windows for panhandlers.

  1. In furtherance of City policy, please don’t shoot Salvation Army bell ringers this Holiday Season. Last years “incidents” have resulted in fewer volunteers. Thank you for your cooperation.

  2. Let me guess: some white cracker honky red-neck guy did this?

    Wearing jeans, dirty T-shirt, MAGA hat, and work boots?
    Blue eyes? Goofy smile? Blond Mullet?
    Ran to a banged-up faded red and white pick-em-up truck?

  4. And to think I roamed the streets of Baltimore as an 11 or 12 year old going to the museums, the market, the library.

    Geez now you need an armed guard to return to your car after a Dr.’s appointment at most hospitals.

    Can’t remember any mark getting stabbed in Alaska but occasionally the panhandlers fight over the more lucrative street corners. I blame the useless idiots that give them money.

  6. Panhandlers are mostly con artists, mentally ill and habitual criminals. Since demoncrat run cities refuse to protect their shepple citizens, they’re easy prey.

  7. Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh (ever seen this thing? Jar Jar Bink’s separated at birth twin sister) said “this is a reminder not to roll down your windows for panhandlers”. 2 decades ago I decided on my own to not even go there, not to support local business, conventions or even contact relatives. Yea, a real “Charm City”.
