A 26-year-old man was shot in Baltimore's Brooklyn Homes neighborhood late on Nov. 10, and he's now recovering in stable condition as detectives work to figure out who pulled the trigger. Southern District officers rushed to the 800 block of the street where the shooting happened at around 9:25 p.m. Nov. 10 after a report of gunfire, and found the man wounded.

According to WCBM, officers were called to the 800 block of Galde Court, where they located the victim and provided medical assistance before he was transported to an area hospital. A separate account from WBFF places the shooting on Glade Court, and the discrepancy in the street's spelling has not been resolved in the available reporting. Either way, the man was reported to be in stable condition, per the police report cited by WCBM.

Detectives Seek Tips as Investigation Continues

Southern District detectives are leading the investigation into the Nov. 10 shooting, and they're asking anyone with information to call 410-396-2499. The station's report notes that tipsters can also stay anonymous by calling Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP or submitting a tip through the organization's website.

No arrests or suspect information have been released in connection with this shooting, and it remains unclear what led up to the gunfire. The block sits inside Brooklyn Homes, a 34-acre public housing development in South Baltimore that contains 482 affordable units, according to a prior Hoodline report.

A Neighborhood With a History of Gun Violence

This is not the first time the area has drawn police attention. Baltimore police said officers responded to the 800 block of Glade Court on Sept. 17, 2025, at about 5:43 p.m. for a report of a non-fatal shooting, and that case was still open two months later when investigators asked for the public's help identifying a person of interest, per the same WBFF account. In that case, Metro Crime Stoppers offered a potential cash reward of up to $4,000 for tips leading to felony charges and an arrest.

Brooklyn Homes has seen other violent incidents in recent years. An unpermitted block party in the neighborhood turned deadly on July 2, 2023, when a mass shooting killed two people and injured 28 others, Hoodline's earlier report notes. And in August 2021, officers responding to a reported shooting on nearby Hayden Court found a 37-year-old man with gunshot wounds on the 4100 block of Mariban Court, the same reporting states.

Citywide Shooting Numbers Show a Mixed Picture

The neighborhood also fell within the Southern District expansion of Baltimore's Group Violence Reduction Strategy, which took effect in late June 2025 and brought focused deterrence and direct social services to Brooklyn, Curtis Bay and Cherry Hill, according to the earlier Hoodline coverage. A June 2026 working paper was reported as finding that the strategy contributed to a 60 percent decline in Baltimore's homicide rate between 2022 and 2025, per that same report.

Citywide, Baltimore Police recorded a 54 percent clearance rate for non-fatal shootings in the first half of 2026, a 12 percentage-point improvement over the same period a year earlier, Hoodline reported. Through Oct. 1, 2026, the city had logged 226 non-fatal shootings and 83 homicides, down 4.2 percent and 15.3 percent, respectively, from the same period in 2025, according to the earlier report. The Nov. 10 shooting occurred after that tally period, as Southern District detectives continue working the case.
