The 36-year-old is a federal agent and Iraq War veteran, and supervisors in the Department of Veterans Affairs appeared at his bail review hearing this month after he was charged with killing his brother in the early-morning hours of April 4. A performance officer in President Barack Obama's administration wrote a letter to the court affirming Warren's good works in the community and importance in matters of national security.
But police -- and on Friday, a city grand jury -- accused Warren of deliberately killing Curtis A. Pounds.
Warren's defense attorney, J. Wyndall Gordon, says the case is a simple yet tragic mistake: Warren was fearful of people breaking into one of his Northeast Baltimore homes and slept with his service weapon nearby. When a prowler broke in at 4 a.m. April 5, Warren fired at the figure in the darkness, Gordon said.
When he flipped on the light, Gordon said, Warren made a grisly discovery: It was his brother.
