Police trace steps of abducted Baltimore man found dead near Annapolis school

In the early morning hours of March 28, the body of 47-year-old David Winchester was discovered near the track field of Bates Middle School in Annapolis.

One gunman chased Winchester's sister upstairs, firing into a bedroom she locked herself in.

No one was struck, but the suspects turned their attention back towards the mother threatening to kill her and Winchester before finally leaving in a blue Eclipse.

It turns out Winchester visited the Safari Nightclub on O'Donnell Street earlier in the night. Cell phone records indicate Fincher was there as well.

[...]

It's unclear why Fincher targeted Winchester. Court records do show Fincher being released from jail just three weeks ago for an armed robbery conviction.
