Dante Barksdale, the respected and well-known Baltimore Safe Streets leader, an ex-offender who turned his life around to save others from gun violence, was shot and killed Sunday morning. Even in a city beset by violence, the shocking daylight homicide of the 46-year-old Barksdale, an outgoing personality and familiar face to many in Baltimore, stunned the city, which grieved his death yesterday as the news of the slaying quickly spread throughout the afternoon.
