Suspect Charged In Frederick Douglass High School Shooting And 2018 Murder

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The suspect in the Friday afternoon shooting at Frederick Douglass High School has been charged for that, and his connection to 2018 murder.

City Police said that 25-year-old Neil Davis tried to enter the school in the 2300 block of Gwynns Falls Pkwy. around 12 p.m. but encountered 56-year-old Michael Marks, a special education assistant inside the school lobby.

That's when officers said Davis pulled his gun out during an argument and shot Marks in the lower torso.
