For the second time in six weeks, Harrisburg Police Chief Tom Carter has helped convince a wanted fugitive to surrender.

Carter on Monday agreed to meet Dominique Baines, 20, who was wanted for criminal homicide, at a home in Harrisburg.

Baines is accused of shooting at a man and woman in front of an abandoned building near 14th and Vernon streets at about 11:35 p.m. Saturday. The victims got a ride to a hospital from friends or relatives.

The male victim, Cordell Nash-Matthews, 26, later died at the hospital. The 21-year-old female victim suffered a gunshot wound to her forearm.

Carter said the shooting apparently stemmed from a dispute Baines had with the woman.

Since Carter knew Baines and his family, Carter called relatives on Sunday to ask for their help in finding Baines, who had fled after the shooting. The relatives convinced Baines to call Carter.

Baines phoned Carter Monday and asked to meet at a particular home. Carter would not say who lived at the home.

"He wanted me to pick him up," Carter said. "He trusts me."

Carter said he showed up at the home and talked to Baines before placing Baines into custody.

Last month, Carter worked with relatives of Shawn McCoy to get McCoy to surrender. McCoy was wanted in connection with several robberies and for allegedly shooting at police during a police chase.
