Actions have consequences; and there’s still another day left to close out the month….
BALTIMORE – Baltimore Police announced May’s 40th homicide victim Saturday, making it the city’s deadliest month in a quarter of a century.
Justin Mensuphu-Bey, 23 — who also went by Justin Bey, according to court records — was fatally shot in the 1100 block of Washington Boulevard in Pigtown Friday night, police said. The last time the city had 40 homicides in a month was August 1990, when the city had 42 and its population was significantly larger. So far, 2015 has seen 113 homicides.
[…] The 100th shooting of the month also happened early Saturday morning. A woman was found shot in the leg in the 2900 block of West Lanvale St. in the Franklintown Road neighborhood of southwest Baltimore, police said.
A series of other attacks followed throughout the day.
The 101st was reported around 6:45 a.m. in the 1700 block of E. 30th St. in the Coldstream-Homestead-Montebello neighborhood. Police said a 16-year-old girl had a graze wound to her back. (read more)
