A Wednesday night shooting in West Baltimore has detectives trying to piece together what happened after a 34-year-old man turned up at a local hospital with gunshot wounds, according to police. Officers were called on May 27 at about 8:20 p.m., and authorities say the man’s injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening. Investigators think the shooting took place in the 1400 block of Mountmor Court.
As reported by Fox Baltimore, officers went to the hospital after the victim checked in and found him already undergoing treatment. The outlet notes that detectives are still working to sort out what led up to the gunfire.
Police seeking tips
Western District detectives are handling the case and are asking anyone with information to call them at 410-396-2477 or contact Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP, according to Metro Crime Stoppers. The organization’s site says the toll-free hotline operates 24/7 and that callers can remain anonymous.
Where this happened
The 1400 block of Mountmor Court sits in a cluster of West Baltimore rowhouse blocks that have seen multiple shootings this month. Earlier in May, a separate outbreak of overnight gunfire in nearby streets was reported, with detectives canvassing the area and urging residents to check doorbell and phone camera footage for anything that might help.
Police have not released any suspect description or possible motive, and the investigation remains active, Fox Baltimore reported. Authorities say more information will be shared as it becomes available.
