Crime down in Baltimore
The shootings occurred as Baltimore continues to record a historic drop in violent crime, according to data from the mayor's office.
On Dec. 1, the mayor reported a 29% drop in homicides and a 25% drop in non-fatal shootings for November, compared to the same time last year.
The city has recorded 127 homicides and 288 non-fatal shootings so far in 2025, representing a continued decline, data shows. This time last year, the city had recorded 181 homicides and 385 non-fatal shootings by this time.
"127 homicides represents the fewest number of homicides Baltimore has seen on record since at least 1970," the mayor said in a statement.
Data also shows that aggravated assaults dropped by 11%, auto thefts dropped by 29% and carjackings dropped by 36% as of November 29.
"As we enter the last month of the year, we are doubling down on our work to continue this progress into 2026 and beyond," the mayor said. "One life lost to violence is one too many."
