After a lengthy investigation spanning over a year, an 18-year-old suspect named London Stevenson has been arrested in connection with a shooting that occurred back in 2023. On March 12, law enforcement officials managed to apprehend Stevenson at around 5:45 a.m. on the 2900 block of Southland Avenue without incident. The arrest relates to an incident where a 14-year-old girl was shot in the Western District, as reported by the Baltimore Police Department. London Stevenson has been charged with attempted first-degree murder and is currently at the Central Booking Intake Facility.
The original incident occurred on September 8, 2023, when officers were dispatched to North Pulaski Street and Presstman Street after a ShotSpotter alert went off at approximately 7:20 p.m. Upon arrival, the victim, who was later discovered to be a 14-year-old female, was found with gunshot wounds. The detectives were able to assume control of the investigation quickly and gathered enough evidence to identify Stevenson as the alleged shooter ultimately and to arrange for his arrest subsequently.
The shooting has cast a lingering shadow over the area of the 2100 block of Presstman Street, where the assault initially happened. Medics at the scene transported the young victim to an area hospital, where she was listed in stable condition. The investigation by Western District detectives has been a painstaking process, with authorities sifting through leads and evidence steadily over the following months.
