A 27-year-old man showed up at a northeast Baltimore hospital early Friday afternoon with a gunshot wound, and police say his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Officers from the Northeastern District were called to the hospital at about 12:55 p.m., where they found the man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Investigators still do not know where the shooting happened and are asking anyone who might know something to come forward.
On June 19 at approximately 12:55 p.m., Northeast District patrol officers responded to an area hospital for a reported walk-in shooting victim, as reported by FOX45. Officers located a 27-year-old male with an apparent non-life-threatening gunshot wound, and the exact location of the shooting remained unknown at the time. Detectives asked anyone with information to call investigators, according to the station.
What police say
The Northeastern District is handling the investigation and lists its non-emergency line at 410-396-2444, per the Baltimore Police Department. As of the latest report, detectives had not identified a crime scene and were canvassing for surveillance footage and witnesses. Authorities said preserving any video or phone recordings could be crucial in pinpointing where the shooting took place.
Where this fits in June's numbers
Local outlets tracking the city's shootings logged the June 19 incident as part of an already busy month: WMAR-2's tracker lists a 12:55 p.m. hospital walk-in that day involving a 27-year-old with a non-life-threatening wound. Many of June's shootings have followed a similar pattern, with victims seeking medical care before a location is identified. Those entries highlight how often Baltimore detectives must chase leads without an initial scene to examine.
How to submit tips
Anyone with information is asked to contact Northeastern District shooting detectives at 410-396-2444 or submit an anonymous tip to Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP or via the P3 Tips app, per Metro Crime Stoppers of Maryland. Rewards may be available for tips that lead to arrests. Police are urging residents with relevant footage to preserve it and contact investigators directly.
