Suspect in lesbian bar shooting still at large


(Baltimore, Maryland) Baltimore police have widened their search for a woman who shot and killed another woman and wounded two others after an altercation in one of the city’s oldest lesbian bars.

Sctario Tia Edwards, 25, and the suspect bumped on the dance floor of Coconuts Cafe early Saturday morning and an argument ensued.

The dispute continued outside the club when Edwards and another woman left. The suspect began beating the two women with a metal pipe and then pulled a gun, shooting Edwards multiple times. 

At one point, Edwards attempted to run after being hit by the first shot, police said, but the suspect chased her down and shot her again several times. She died later in hospital.

Edward’s friend was hit in the hand by another shot, and a women on the street heading to the club was struck by stray gunfire. Both were treated in the hospital and released.

The suspect escaped but police said they have a good description.  So far, though, there have been no arrests.

    • Wow…I am so floored by this. I used to go to coconuts all the time and in all the years that I have been going there I have never come across something like this. It just goes to show you that some people are so immature that they have to turn to violence to solve a problem. I pray for the familes of the women who were injured and I will pray that nothing will ever happen like this again. I want to feel safe when I return to Baltimore for a visit. Coconuts has been the only place where I have ever been comfortable to be myself besides Gay Pride.
