The defendant was given Life, suspending all but 60 years, for the fatal stabbing of six year-old Seron Addison

Baltimore, Md. (March 18, 2025) - “Today, Alan Geslicki, a violent repeat offender, was sentenced to life in prison, suspending all but 60 years, for the brutal and senseless stabbing of six-year-old Seron Addison in front of his 13-year-old brother. This sentence ensures that a dangerous individual who has continually demonstrated a propensity for violence throughout his life will spend the majority of his remaining years behind bars, unable to inflict harm on another innocent person.

“The murder of a defenseless child is one of the most horrific crimes imaginable, and there is no justification for such a heinous act. Today’s sentence reflects this crime’s severity and devastating impact on Seron’s family and our community.

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to Assistant State’s Attorneys J. Burke Miller and Kevin Reinoso for their tireless efforts in prosecuting this case and securing justice for Seron and his loved ones. I hope that today’s outcome brings some measure of peace to his family. Our office remains committed to protecting the most vulnerable members of our community and ensuring that those who commit such deplorable acts face the full weight of the law.”  – Ivan J. Bates, State’s Attorney
