Baltimore police say John Wagner and Lavelya Merritt were "hunting to rob someone" on Sunday night.
Around 11:30, they ran into Stephen Pitcairn.
The Jupiter man, a Johns Hopkins University researcher with dreams of finding the cure to breast cancer, was walking on Baltimore's north side talking on the phone with his mother.
Wagner and Merritt found their perfect, distracted "someone," police said in court records filed Tuesday .
Even after he followed the two career criminals' orders, police allege that one of them stabbed him in the chest. All the while his mother, Gwen Pitcairn, listened as her son - just two days shy of his 24th birthday - pleaded with the robbers .
Afterward, the pair went home, apparently so proud of what they had done they bragged to witnesses, saying they had robbed and "hurt" a "white boy," according to the court records.
Pitcairn was pronounced dead around midnight at John Hopkins Hospital.
On Monday morning, a police SWAT team raided Wagner and Merritt's place at 2700 Baltimore Ave. and arrested the pair without incident. Police found blood at the front door, bloody shoes and Pitcairn's brown wallet and iPhone in the house.
After being taken in for questioning, Merritt and Wagner gave statements that were "completely contradictory to one another," police say.
Wagner, 34, and Merritt, 24, are expected to be arraigned this morning on murder, robbery and assault charges, according to the court records.
On Tuesday, Pitcairn's colleagues were still in shock from his death.
"Everyone is trying to get over the initial response to the news," said Dr. Gregg Semenza, who was Pitcairn's mentor and lab supervisor.
"He was quite a remarkable young man," he added. "This is a person that just had tremendous potential."
Semenza said Pitcairn, who he planned to promote to lab manager, was in the process of applying to medical school for next year and that "he had all of the personal qualities" needed for a successful career as a physician.
The arrests were little consolation to Pitcairn's friends and family in Jupiter.
"At this point it's really hard even to articulate our loss," said Pitcairn's mother, Gwen Pitcairn, by telephone Monday.
"He was the best brother anybody could have," she said, speaking through tears. "It's just a shame that such a good person could get cut down at such a young age."
Pitcairn, who grew up in Jupiter, was also a 2004 graduate of The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, where he was a member of the 14-year Club for attending since preschool. Among other things, he was on the varsity cross country and track teams and was a vice president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
"The entire school community is shocked and saddened by this devastating and senseless tragedy regarding one of our former students," Head of School Robert Goldberg said in a statement late Monday .
"Stephen was a brilliant young man with an incredible future," Amy Taylor, a longtime faculty member, said in an e-mail. "This is a tragic loss for his family, our community and those he could have touched with the work he had hoped to do in medicine."
A memorial service for Pitcairn has been scheduled for 5 p.m. Thursday in Jupiter. Funeral services have been scheduled for Friday at the North Presbyterian Church in North Palm Beach.

I agree it's important to carry to protect oneself.
however, I think these 2 people would have still committed the crime if Mccain was in office today as well.
Obama's America. I disagree with that.

Send these two coons to Utah and have them talk to the Great Troy Kell a true American hero.
Lets get some WHITE POWER JUMPING OFF IN THIS MOTHERFU##ER!!

Where is the NAACP, Obama, Jesse, Sharpton, et al on this?
They are probably still searching for the video of teaparty people saying the dreaded "N" word on tape to pelosi and the others during the health care nonsense.

interchange the races of the people involved (at least try to imagine that) and this would be a "hate crime" all over the sorry ass news. They should just shoot them and throw them in a ditch somewhere.

Hate Crimes don't apply to white victims.
These vermin should be hung, beaten, whipped, starved, waterboarded, and then shot in the front of the head.

exactly, I guess only white people can hate.....but, but I thought everyone was equal?
And you are right about the punishment....we need public hangings again.

Don't be crass.... all they need is a little more understanding and 'hand-ups' in life.

Vee-Arnis-Jitsu classes are in Brooklyn 33's you should take a class and check it out. Disable your opponents in seconds. ;)

I train under the same guy that trained Gerald Celente.

Its basically free form street fighting emphasizing strikes, low kicks, knees, elbaws and ww2 combatives.
The instructor is Col. Al Ridenhour.
Its based on stuff from Carl Cestari (RIP), Fairbairn, Sykes, Rex Applegate, all sorts of shit like that.
I did BJJ for about a year or so and thought it was useless for most fights compared to the stuff I am learning now. Before that I did TMA for a few years (Mas Oyama).
-
What do you carry 33's? I carry SeeCamp .32 w/ hollows. It's about the size of a cell phone and hold 7 rounds.
A great concealed weapon.

Glock 26. After literally thousands and thoussands of rounds, never has ever failed to go bang when i pulled the trigger.
Glock is the only gun I will carry.

Sounds a lot like Kenpo and Vee Jitsu. I've trained in both for years.

Yeah, its mostly basic stuff. BJJ was not my thing. Too slow, too time consuming, not enough focus on how you get to the ground and what to do against multiple attackers.
I also don't like dressing up in a heavy robe.

I used to carry a .38 revol. but it's too big and cumbersome. My fav. handgun is my Sig Sauer..it never misses a beat.
-
This guy they murdered went to the same high school as me, and his mother lives in Jupiter, Fla...not far from me. I am in the process of getting a concealed weapons permit..since this type of thing occurs on a daily basis in west palm beach. And of course the perpetrators almost always resemble the ones that killed this kid. You can't reason with savages..you just have to be prepared.

I agree...street combat is the only way to train. My daughter and her husband train Vee Jitsu in CO Springs. She's 110lbs max but can kick some ass...if necessary.
-
So now Obama is responsible for every crime committed by a black? That's actually too silly a notion for serious discussion.

Of course not, it was a joke. Stories like this are scary as hell though. Its like a predator seeking prey and you have an innocent kid like this just getting slaughtered, literally.

Check out the Seecamp .32 it's the smallest concealed weapon and very reliable.
I'm never without it.

Good stuff.

That's it bro. 8)

Yeah that vid is most of the stuff we focus on.
I would go, but brooklyn is a real pain in the ass to get to from the Bronx.

I understand....born and raised in NYC myself.
That said...it's by far the best system I've trained in.

Once proficient in Vee Jitsu.....most "situations" end very quickly.
Opponent size is irrelevant.

Good stuff.
When I trained in NYC Prof. James was my instructor.
Good guy....but tough as a fuuck!
-
Seems like a great teacher. Didnt another poster here train with him too?
Also, he reminds me of Bas Rutten a bit.

I'm out of NYC now... I currently train under an 8th degree Kenpo instructor.....so we mix both disciplines when training.

To be honest, Flatbush is not really an area I go to unless I have to collect. My CCW permit does not apply in NYC.

This isn't a POTUS issue or relevant association. This is just a dumb ass oxygen thief scumbag piece of trash who should be removed from planet Earth all together.

I live literally on the border of NYC. If you take, no kidding, ten steps from my door, its NYC, I'm right on the line.
That's how I was able to get a full carry since technically my address is Yonkers, NY.

33's is correct nearly impossible to obtain a full carry in NYC.

It is, you have to get a special permit even to get long arms in NYC. You have to pay a fee of $400 upfront, go down and register with the police station, and do all sorts of crap.

Im not at emory no more. But i never got a license to carry..you can carry a hand gun in your car as long as the clip is out.
Ive only owned a couple of hand guns in my life. Walther P99 and a .45 Glock 39.
I wanted a .45 DE but it was like 1800 out the box..A bit too rich for my blood..The Glock was about a $1100 less..With about the same stopping power... but i know a Glock dosent Compare to a DE
