According to the Baltimore Police's post, another victim, a 19-year-old male, was injured during the incident. The shooting took place in the 2300 block of Liberty Heights Avenue, an area that promptly saw Western District patrol officers and MTA Police responding to the report of the gunfire around 8:10 p.m.
Both victims were transported to local hospitals, where Jasper Davis later succumbed to his injuries. The suspect's identity has not been released due to his status as a juvenile. He voluntarily appeared at the Baltimore Police Headquarters, which led to his subsequent transport to the Central Booking Intake Facility.
