Suspect Charged in Crisfield Murder



John Richard Hill Jr

WBOC
CRISFIELD, Md.- A suspect is facing murder and related charges in connection with a weekend fatal stabbing that occurred at the Pines Motel on North Somerset Avenue in Crisfield.

At around 9:14 p.m. Sunday, July 29, Crisfield police officers responded to the Pines Motel for several 911 hangups and a possible stabbing. Police said that when officers arrived on the scene, several occupants of the Pines Motel were screaming that someone had just stabbed a man. Witnesses described the suspect as a white male wearing red pajama pants and a white T-shirt. Officers located the suspect and took him into custody pending further investigation.

Other officers went to the aid of the victim. Police said the victim, who was lying on the second floor landing of the motel, sustained approximately two stab wounds underneath the arm pit area of his body.

EMS personnel responded to the crime scene and transported the victim to McCready Hospital where he was pronounced deceased at 9:58 p.m. The deceased has been transported to the State Medical Examiner's office in Baltimore for an autopsy. The name of the victim is being withheld pending notification of the next of kin. The Maryland State Police Crime Lab processed the scene. The weapon used in the stabbing was recovered from the scene, police said.

According to police, an investigation revealed that there was an argument between the victim and the suspect that led to a fight, which led to the suspect picking up a kitchen knife and stabbing the victim.

The suspect in the stabbing, 39-year-old John Richard Hill Jr., of 220 East Main St., Apt. 1, Crisfield, was charged with first- and second-degree murder, attempted first- and second-degree murder, manslaughter, first- and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and dangerous weapon with intent to injure.   

Hill is being held without bond at the Somerset County Detention Center.

This is the first murder in Crisfield since 2005, according to Police Chief Michael Tabor.

John Hill was the boyfriend of the victim's wife; a certain recipe for disaster.

she is the reason a good man lost his life, and another man sits in jail, she loved the rage she caused in both, she needs her kids taken and the key threw away from her cell...

This is a shame. By the looks of Hill's record he was a time bomb waiting to explode. For the life of me, I can't understand why any woman would even want such a loser.

What a shame it is when a woman doesn't have enough going on in her life trying to raise children that she has to have and want that kind of drama in her life. Just so unfortunate for everyone.

Yes, the other tragedy is the children involved. Children now a days are diagnosed with all kinds of off the wall "conditions" and "syndrones". 99% of these fake diagnosis could be avoided if the parents made wiser decisions and guarded their children against all the drama. Children are a product of their environment and will act out if that is all they know from home.
I wish someone had the nerve to read these so called mothers the riot act instead of worrying their feelings might be hurt or they may be offended. All this political correctness is destroying the lives of alot of children.

Ladies you are so right, But anyone who has ever known Debbie, knows she loves to cause Drama and problems, why would you go to the store with your husband or ex husband, not sure what stage it was at this point and then bring him back to the hotel where your boyfriend is that you picked up and left there??? knowing it was only gonna cause problems, but it is exactly what she wanted to do, she wasnt happy unless she was making another miserable..

I read on another site where the Pines Motel is like a flop house and the mother is living there. The mother should consider putting the children in foster care until if and when she gets squared away. I know of some foster familes in Wor co and they are loving stable caring people. I think the children might benefit instead of the unsavory place they are in now.

Anon 9:02AM - Amen! She sure has her drama now! Maybe she'll have a pity party now.

Ole the pity party has already began, its funny everyone around here has the same story and she has atleast 4 different ones goin around.. and yes the best thing that could happen is for the state to take those kids and put them with the family of Aarons or foster care, they wont stand a chance in this world being raised by her...

Well 9:33 the bottom line is-if she really and truly cared about her children (how many?) she would without a moments hesitation voluntarily turn them over to a reponsible party until she gets out of that rat's nest of a motel.
The health dept, the fire marshall,and building inspectors need to pay a visit to the Pines Motel. And if more children are living there than the child welfare services or whatever it's called. There are income based rentals and Section 8 rentals available and the ONLY reason anyone would ever stay at that place is because there are no rules to follow like there are at the rent subsidizes places.

I am assuming the address in the news reports is the address of the victim and is the Pines Motel. Certainly he would not have been on Section 8. What a shame and disaster for so many. Wonder how the wife feels now..
