More than two months after a pre-dawn shooting on Liberty Heights Avenue, Northwest Baltimore police have arrested a 50-year-old man and charged him with attempted first-degree murder. The Dec. 4, 2025, incident sent a woman to the hospital with injuries that were described as non-life-threatening, and detectives say they kept working the case until they were able to track down a suspect.
According to FOX45, officers arrested Craig Williams, 50, on Feb. 17 on the 800 block of Belgian Avenue, then transported him to the Central Booking Intake Facility. Williams has been charged with attempted first-degree murder and is expected to face prosecution in Baltimore City court.
