Composite sketch aims to identify slaying suspect
Baltimore police released an artist's composite of a man described by witnesses as Tony Rosa who obtained a used car license on June 12. Anthony Messina's body was found in the car trunk eleven days later, shot four times in the head, and he was identified as a principal suspect tied to old Syracuse gang activity. Evidence links Messina to a Baltimore killing tied to the Black Hand style syndicate, with hair and bullet fragments matching the case. Ten thousand copies of Rosa's drawing have been produced for law enforcement use nationwide.
