After missing the playoffs for the third time in four years, general manager Ozzie Newsome, coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Joe Flacco still have the staunch support of owner Steve Bisciotti. 

That was the overriding theme of Tuesday's "State of the Ravens" address, which officially wrapped up the team's disappointing 8-8 season. 

"I didn't get where I was by just firing people," said Bisciotti. "I think it's a bad model, especially in this business."

The Ellicott City flood last summer marked the end of an era for Johnny's Bistro on Main. Owner Johnny Breidenbach said the restaurant will not re-open due to financial woes.

A federal judge is allowing key parts of a lawsuit against Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby, brought by five of the six police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, to move forward.

Vehicles for Change, a pioneering Maryland nonprofit, has received foundation grants and corporate sponsorships, but no gift ever looked quite like this: a fully functioning auto repair business.

Jerry Greeff's unusual donation of his One Stop Auto Repair garage came with a request to keep alive the $2.5 million-a-year business that he has operated in Waverly with his wife, Pam, since 1991.

Had he lived, community activist and former NFL safety Keion Carpenter would have kicked off the week as he always did — with a prayer party.

“Every Monday, at 9 a.m., Keion and I would stop what we were doing and phone each other, strictly to pray,” said Ben Long, pastor of Rehoboth Light of the World Church in Woodlawn, where Carpenter was a member. “For 10 minutes, we’d pray for success in whatever we had on our plates for the week. It really set the tone.”

Sadly, this Monday was different.

Gunmen burst into an East Baltimore barbershop on Tuesday afternoon and fired multiple rounds, striking and killing a customer in front of a roomful of employees and patrons.

A 16-year-old boy accused of stabbing his mother's boyfriend to death in Dundalk over the weekend was ordered released from the Baltimore County detention center Monday.

Judge Leo Ryan Jr. noted that Thomas had no prior criminal record and ordered him released on his own recognizance.
