BALTIMORE (WMAR) - A Baltimore City Judge sentenced Isaac Truss, 22, today to life in prison with all but 50 years suspended for the murder of two men in two separate incidents in two days.
On August 20, 2011, Truss shot and killed Keith Cooper in Cooper's downtown apartment. Security footage from the building captured Cooper a short time before his murder in the company of Truss.
On April 22, 2011, an officer responding to a report of a shooting in the 200 block of West Fayette Street discovered Edward Jones suffering from a gunshot wound to the lower back. With the help of Citiwatch cameras, police tracked and arrested the shooter in a nearby convenience store.
From Truss' waistband, they recovered a handgun used in both murders.
