Separate Shootings in Baltimore, Los Angeles, Chicago and Milwaukee Leave Children Among the Victims

Investigators have released surveillance, identified victims and opened forensic and internal reviews as police ask the public for tips.

Overview

  • Baltimore police released surveillance footage after a drive‑by at a playground that wounded an 11‑year‑old boy and a 26‑year‑old man, and officers say two suspects remained at large while both victims were reported stable.
  • Los Angeles investigators treating the North Hills scene as a murder‑suicide say initial crime‑scene evidence points to a woman as the likely shooter and the victims were identified as husband Khajag Basmajian, a six‑day‑old newborn and a 2‑year‑old boy.
  • The FBI said an agent‑involved shooting on Chicago’s West Side left one man dead, the Cook County medical examiner identified the victim and the agency’s Inspection Division is conducting a formal review.
  • Milwaukee police responded to an overnight shooting near North 38th and West Congress Streets that the medical examiner confirmed killed at least one person and remains under active investigation.
  • Across the incidents, officials are using surveillance, canvassing and forensic work to gather evidence while city outreach teams and callers to tip lines aim to calm communities and support grieving families.
