Overview
- Baltimore police say their Foxtrot air support unit identified a vehicle wanted in an armed carjacking and ground units followed it until the car pulled over on Clifton Avenue.
- Officers attempted to remove the driver, who locked the door and refused to exit, and one officer reported seeing a gun before multiple officers fired.
- The driver was struck and later pronounced dead, no officers were injured, and the suspect’s identity has not been released.
- Police recovered a replica BB gun at the scene that officials say resembles a real firearm and are reviewing body-worn camera footage with the Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division involved in the review.
- All officers who fired have been placed on routine administrative leave while the department investigates, a step that could shape accountability procedures and local trust in police operations.
