Where Police Share Updates
The Annapolis Police Department posts official incident information on its Daily Police Activity Reports and maintains a Homicide & Gun Violence dashboard that maps shootings and “shots fired” calls across the city.

Investigators say they are following leads and will release any confirmed updates through those channels.
