Two men were shot Wednesday night in northwest Baltimore, and both landed in local hospitals after what police describe as a pair of connected crime scenes along Reisterstown Road and Dukeland Street.
According to FOX45 News, officers were called around 9:18 p.m. to the 3400 block of Reisterstown Road. There, they found a 21-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds. Medics rushed him to a nearby hospital, and officials have not released an update on his condition.
Police say a second victim, a 38-year-old man, got behind the wheel after being shot and drove himself to the 2400 block of Dukeland Street. He was found there with a non-life-threatening wound and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Police Seek Tips
Northwest District detectives are asking anyone who saw something or caught the incident on camera to contact them at 410-396-2466 or to submit an anonymous tip to Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7-LOCKUP, according to a Baltimore Police Department advisory. Those numbers have become familiar fixtures in department notices about shootings in the Northwest District, and investigators say community videos and witness accounts often help move cases forward.
The stretch of Reisterstown Road where the 21-year-old was found has already seen gunfire this spring. In mid-April, a 17-year-old was shot there in a daytime incident, with the teen hit in the leg, as reported in a teen-hit-in-leg daylight shooting. Local reporting has documented repeated responses by Northwest detectives to that corridor, highlighting ongoing public safety worries for residents and businesses alike.
As of now, FOX45 News reports that police have not announced any arrests or released information on a suspect. The investigation remains active, and anyone with tips is urged to call the Northwest District detectives at the number above or contact Metro Crime Stoppers to share information anonymously.
