Maryland – 3 arrested during vigil for Baltimore rapper Tyriece Watson

According to police Commissioner Kevin Davis, after a vigil that was held for slain Baltimore rapper Tyriece Watson on Monday, police arrested three people on disorderly conduct and other charges. “This was a largely peaceful gathering of people who cared for this young man that this city really, really loved,” Davis said at a news briefing. “This gathering tonight included just a couple people who decided to act in their own self-interest and agitate the crowd.” Tyriece Watson, who went by the stage name “Lor Scoota,” was shot and killed while driving in his car Saturday night. The vigil for Watson began around 5 p.m. Monday evening, and the crowd continued to grow. Eventually police ordered the crowd to disperse, people ignored them and a standoff ensued.
