A 30-year-old man was shot in downtown Baltimore late Sunday morning and taken to a nearby hospital with injuries that police believe are not life-threatening. Officers were called around 11:21 a.m. to the 200 block of North Eutaw Street in the city’s central business district, where they found the wounded man and requested medical aid.
Investigators say the gunfire actually started on the 200 block of Marion Street. After being shot there, the victim made his way to North Eutaw Street, where officers were alerted and the investigation effectively began. As of Sunday, no arrests had been announced, and detectives were canvassing the area for witnesses.
What police say
According to FOX45, Central District officers found the man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound before he was transported to a local hospital. The station reports that his injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening and that detectives are working the scene.
Investigators told the outlet that their preliminary timeline shows the shooting took place on Marion Street, with the victim then traveling to North Eutaw Street, where police ultimately encountered him.
Downtown's recent shootings
This latest case lands on a growing list of daytime shootings in the downtown corridor this spring, a trend that has stirred fresh concern about safety in the area. Earlier in March, downtown street gunfire left two men wounded, and local reporting documented another double shooting along North Eutaw in April.
Those earlier incidents prompted police to again urge the public to share tips and video, as investigators tried to lock down timelines and identify suspects. Sunday’s shooting now joins that pattern of open cases detectives are working to solve.
