  • Two additional men, ages 25 and 31, later walked into a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries linked to the same East/Northeast shooting.
  • Homicide detectives have taken over the East Baltimore case and are asking anyone with information to call 410-396-2100 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
  • In a separate case, the 14-year-old fatally shot Saturday in Morrell Park was identified as Michael Hitchens III, whose family and neighbors described their grief and urged accountability.
  • Hours after the East/Northeast gunfire, a 17-year-old arrived at a hospital with a non-life-threatening wound believed to have been sustained on Wegworth Lane in Lakeland, as city data marked the latest homicide as the 132nd of the year, down about 28% from the same time last year.
