Similar Tragedy in Baltimore

This shooting comes just days after a mass shooting at a block party in Baltimore, where two people were killed and 28 others were injured. The victims have been identified as 20-year-old Kylis Fagbemi and 18-year-old Aaliyah Gonzalez. Despite offering a $28,000 reward for information leading to arrests, authorities have yet to announce any suspects or make any arrests in connection to the Baltimore shooting.

Prioritizing Public Safety

Maryland Governor Wes Moore, a Democrat who took office in January, expressed his commitment to ensuring public safety. He stated on Twitter that everyone deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood and that his administration is taking action to address violent crime, remove illegal guns from the streets, hold offenders accountable, and increase opportunities to prevent violence.
