Police Name Victim in Federal Hill Killing and Seek Women Seen in Video

The appeal for tips follows a weekend of multiple shootings under investigation.

Overview

  • Baltimore Police, which on Friday released video of several women tied to the case, asked the public for tips after identifying the victim as Brandon Long.
  • Officers were called around 2:40 a.m. Sunday to the 200 block of Key Highway in Federal Hill, where they found Long unresponsive and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
  • Detectives are also reviewing a Saturday night shooting on the 1800 block of St. Paul Street and two separate Sunday cases in which gunshot victims walked into hospitals.
  • City Councilman Zac Blanchard said the Key Highway stretch has long struggled with late-night trouble and called for a coordinated safety plan involving city agencies, businesses, and residents.
  • Nearby residents and shop owners report more police in the area and describe a corridor of homes and bars that draws late-night crowds and recurring disturbances.
