Police: Infant Injured & 1 Dead In Triple Shooting In West Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Baltimore Police are investigating a triple shooting -- after a baby was injured and one man is dead.

Baltimore Police tell WJZ the shooters knew exactly who they were looking for -- and there was no regard for who was hit in the crossfire. It happened Saturday around 3 p.m, at the 2800 block of Keyworth Avenue for reports of a shooting.

Baltimore Police say when they arrived on the scene they found a 37-year-old man shot in the chest and a 10 month-old infant shot in the leg.

The adult male victim shot was transported to Sinai Hospital, but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

The two victims were reportedly sitting on the porch of a home on Keyworth Avenue when three suspects, whom Baltimore Police believe were two men and a woman, approached the victims on foot and began shooting at them.

The suspects fled westbound on foot. However, while fleeing from the location, the suspects observed a woman, a potential witness to their crime seated inside of a vehicle and opened fire at them as well, striking the third victim in the shoulder. Police say she sustained a non-life threatening graze wound.
"According to the detective, this is in no way a random incident. It was very much targeted. It appears that the gunmen approached, they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew exactly who they were shooting at," said Nicole Monroe, Baltimore City Police.
Keyworth Avenue has seen trouble before. In June, a 40-year-old man was found shot dead, just three blocks away from this crime scene. Police have not said if the 10-month-old baby is related to the man who was killed.

That baby , and the woman who was grazed by gunfire, are both expected to survive. Police are searching for the suspects and need help from the public to help find them.

"We want those phone calls. Because we have to close this case. things like this just cannot happen. A 10-month-old baby was wounded," said Detective Monroe.
Police say if you have any information, you can call or text tips anonymously to Metro Crimestoppers.
