Nicholas Martinez Figueroa, 37, was arrested Tuesday and booked into the Baltimore City Central Booking Intake Facility, where he awaits trial on a first-degree murder charge in the killing of 30-year-old Marcus Wilson.
About 9 p.m. March 29, police were called to a stabbing near the intersection of Conkling and Pratt streets, according to the Baltimore Police Department. Officers found Wilson suffering from multiple stab wounds.
