Abingdon man stabbed 66-year-old to death at bus stop, then killed his deaf cellmate

An Abingdon man faces life in prison after being convicted of two separate murders in Baltimore City. Gordon Staron's path of destruction began September 6, 2022. That's when 66-year-old Keith Bell was discovered stabbed to death at a bus stop on E. Monument Street. Detectives captured Staron on camera fleeing the scene and discarding a bloodied shirt in a dumpster behind a nearby school. When Harford County Sheriff's deputies showed up at his Abingdon home, Staron reportedly came outside armed with a shotgun and was placed under arrest. Three days later while being held at Baltimore City's Central Booking facility, Staron strangled his deaf cellmate, Javarick Gantt, to death. While a jury found Staron guilty of Bell's murder, he pleaded guilty to killing Gantt. Staron will be sentenced December 19.
