1 dead, 2 wounded after overnight shootings in Baltimore

Baltimore Police are investigating two separate overnight shootings that happened in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Double shooting in Cherry Hill 

According to police, officers responded to the 2900 block of Spelman Road around 3:40 a.m. for a reported shooting.

When they arrived, officers found two victims who had been shot. 21-year-old Tyriel Simms was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. A second victim, a 21-year-old man, was taken to a local hospital. He is expected to survive his injuries. 

Baltimore Police said this is the second homicide in the Cherry Hill neighborhood this year. The first one occurred in January.

Neighbors did not want to talk on camera. However, off-camera, they told WJZ they heard at least two shots early Saturday morning.

Another woman says her brother knows Simms, adding he's shaken up to hear he lost his friend.

While some neighbors are unsurprised by violence, others say this street is calm and peaceful, noting incidents like this have been uncommon for years in the Cherry Hill neighborhood.

Homicide detectives have assumed control of the investigation and are asking anyone with information to call 410-396-2100. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LockUp.

Man shot, injured on Harford Road 

Around 12:42 a.m., officers responded to the 6900 block of Harford Road for a shooting, according to police. Upon arrival, they found a 34-year-old man who had been shot. He was taken to a local hospital and is in serious condition. 

Northeast District shooting detectives are investigating the incident and believe it may have stemmed from an earlier robbery.    

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call detectives at 410-396-2444 or call Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LockUp.
