Federal Hill’s Recent Trouble With Gunfire
The killing adds to a string of violent incidents shadowing Federal Hill’s nightlife zone. A March 29 incident left a 20-year-old grazed near Light Street, and neighbors have told local outlets they are increasingly worried about weekend gunfire around the bar strip.
