Teenager Arrested in Baltimore Block Party Shooting That Left 2 Dead
A 17-year-old was arrested on Friday and charged with gun crimes as detectives investigate whether he was involved in a shooting on Sunday at a Baltimore block party that killed two people and wounded 28 others, the police said.
In a statement, the Baltimore Police Department described the teenager as a “juvenile person of interest” in the shooting and said he had been charged with possession of a firearm by a minor, assault weapon possession, reckless endangerment and having a handgun in a vehicle.
The teenager, who has not been publicly identified, has not been charged in the shooting at the block party, although the statement said that detectives believe he was “involved” in the deadly gunfire that traumatized many in the city’s southern neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Members of the city’s homicide unit and SWAT team arrested the teenager at 7 a.m. after executing a search warrant at a home, the police said.
