Sad news to report. Beltway Boxer Steve Garrett was shot and killed near his home in Annapolis on January 6.

According to The Capital newspaper, police were called to Bowman Drive in Annapolis at about 9 p.m. on the sixth for the report of a car accident and found Garrett in a car suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to Anne Arundel Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
