Multiple Shootings Leave Deadly Injuries Across Baltimore Amid Overall Crime Decline

Baltimore has experienced a series of shootings resulting in multiple injuries and one death in late October 2024. A 15-year-old boy and two adult men were injured in separate incidents in Southeast Baltimore, with one man dying at the scene. Another shooting in Southwest Baltimore left a 26-year-old man hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, while a man shot in East Baltimore is recovering in stable condition. Police continue to investigate these crimes, with many victims arriving at hospitals as walk-ins and the exact shooting locations often unknown. Despite these recent violent events, Baltimore has seen a historic overall decline in gun violence, with a 21% drop in victims in 2024 compared to 2023 and a reported 50% decrease in homicides and non-fatal shootings since last year. Law enforcement urges anyone with information to contact Metro Crime Stoppers or local police.
