A Baltimore couple have been arrested and charged in the stabbing death of a man in West Baltimore, according to court records. Kevin Brailford, 42, and Koumba Yasin, 39, have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Dennis Cornish, who was found Friday in the 1500 block of Edmondson Ave. According to court records, Brailford and Yasin, who live in the 1500 block of Edmondson Ave., went to the front door of Cornish's apartment and got into a fight, though it was not clear what provoked the argument. Brailford stabbed Cornish in the chest and fled while Yasin tried to clean the crime scene. Both were arrested Friday.
