Overview
- Police, who found a man fatally shot early Sunday on the 200 block of Key Highway, say the search for the shooter continues as footage from a recently installed private camera captured activity before the gunfire.
- Dozens of neighbors met Tuesday in Federal Hill Park to press officials over late-night car parties, loitering and dirt bikes they link to violence, and the neighborhood association reported 34 assaults this year.
- Councilman Zac Blanchard has convened stakeholders for biweekly sessions and is building a first-ever Federal Hill master plan with pillars spanning safety, streets, main corridors, parks and local schools.
- Bars around Cross Street Market are funding event security that coordinates with Baltimore Police, breaks up fights and flags weapons, in what officials described as a tighter, shared approach to late-night trouble.
- Near-term steps under review include gating parking lots after businesses close, enforcing park curfews, adding narrow speed bumps and weekend jersey barriers to deter dirt bikes, and exploring MTA bus tweaks to better serve Digital Harbor High School.
