Baltimore Police Probe Deadly Federal Hill Shooting as Security Video Guides Search

City leaders say the late-night hot spot needs a clear safety plan.

Overview

  • Police found a man unresponsive on the 200 block of Key Highway early Sunday, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
  • Security video from a MATCOM camera installed about a week earlier captured people fleeing the plaza, and police are using the footage to look for a suspect.
  • Eastern district officers hours earlier responded to a hospital walk-in and found a 21-year-old shooting victim tied preliminarily to the 1800 block of Saint Paul Street in Station North.
  • Homicide detectives asked anyone with information to call 410-396-2100 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
  • Neighbors and officials are pushing for a late-night safety plan for Federal Hill, which has leaned on a resident-funded patrol and cameras that organizers say cut some crimes by 41% in parts of the area.
