WBFF (BALTIMORE, MD) — It’s almost closing time at Kitty’s Lounge in north Baltimore July 8, 2022.
An employee leaves the bar, unaware he’ll soon fall victim in a brutal assault and armed robbery.
“We have a regular Bonnie and Clyde duo,” said Tony Gause, Senior Inspector with the US Marshals Service.
Investigators say the crime was caught on surveillance.
As the victim rounds the corner onto a neighborhood street, a woman and a man appear into frame.
The US Marshals Service has identified the woman as 36-year-old Nikina Hill and 35-year-old Trey McEachin.
“Ms. Hill decided to begin assaulting the victim,” said Gause.
Investigators say began arguing with the victim and then assaulted and punched him.
Surveillance then captured McEachin joining in, officials said.
“Mr. Mceachin came up behind him and pulled out a handgun and decided to begin beating the victim senselessly, pointing the weapon at him,” said Gause.
Investigators say the man was knocked unconscious and the duo stole his cell phone and about $400 in cash.
“He suffered several lacerations and broken bones,” said Gause, who added the victim was taken to an area hospital.
As for the suspects, the US Marshals Service has now joined the search for them.
Investigators believe this was a crime of opportunity and likely not the first time the couple has targeted and committed a crime against a victim.
Furthermore, investigators say both suspects have criminal pasts.
Court records show Hill was on probation at the time of the armed robbery, has a history of drug arrests and back in 2016 was arrested for the shooting of a man outside of a nightclub in Baltimore.
“Hill we do know has a prior of attempted first degree murder so she does have a violent criminal past,” said Gause.
As for McEachin, investigators detailed he’s a known gang member.
“McEachin we do know he’s a noted and certified gang member. He’s a member of the Black Guerilla Family here in Baltimore so he does have a criminal past,” said Gause.
“We believe they’re still in Baltimore. We believe they’re still together. We do believe they also may venture to Virginia but that’s still on-going in the investigation,” investigators added.
Hill stands at about 5’5” and weighs approximately 165 lbs.
McEachin stands at about 5’9” and weighs 200 lbs.
