.@ChiefMHyatt and I remain in constant communication.
As her team works diligently to investigate this shooting, I know they will do whatever is necessary to bring the perpetrators of this cowardly act to justice.

The city of Baltimore continued its struggle with unprecedented murder rates in the early months of 2020; reporting more than 50 homicides since January 1st, 2020.
“Only into the third month of the new year and more than 50 people have been killed in the Baltimore city area,” reports Fox News. “The Baltimore Police Department announced Sunday that 19-year-old Graham Blake was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a 26-year-old man on Friday, one of four shootings in Charm City Friday night that left two men dead and four injured.”

“At least 52 homicides were been reported throughout the city as of March 2, according to a tally by The Baltimore Sun. The major northeastern city in Maryland of more than 600,000 people is one of the most dangerous in America, according to the FBI,” adds Fox.
“This city was never like this, even when it was at its worst,” activist Tyree Moorehead told FOX45 on Sunday. “That’s scary because there’s people whose family members haven’t been shot yet that have a bullet with their name on it and don’t even know it.”
