Early this morning, a young man found himself the victim of gunfire in the heart of Greektown, Southeast Baltimore. Fox Baltimore reported that police were called to the 700 block of South Macon Street just after midnight and discovered a 23-year-old with a wound deemed not life-threatening. While the echo of a bullet pierced the night, the man's life hung in the balance, yet tipped toward survival as he made his way to the hospital.
The Baltimore Police Department, quickly attending the incident, discovered upon arriving on the scene the signs of a struggle marred by violence. Baltimore Witness shared additional details, stating that the preliminary investigation suggests the young man was shot while present on that very block where investigators later congregated, pulling apart the threads of the altercation in an attempt to weave together the narrative of what transpired.
Information about the shooting was scant, but law enforcement urged any individual who knows more to step forward and contact the Southeast District detectives at 410-396-2422 or, for those seeking anonymity, Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7Lockup.
