Baltimore Police have been busy in June as homicides keep happening around the city.
As of Thursday morning, there have been 20 people killed across the city in only the last 21 days, and a total of 23 homicides reported this month alone. Three of the homicides come from shootings in the past where the victims recently died from their injuries, or evidence now shows the person died from a shooting.
This frightening average of almost a murder a day comes after a man was shot and killed in the 3200 block of Clarence Avenue Wednesday night. Just before 11 p.m., police found the man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his body. Medics took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
While an average indicates there has been a murder a day, Baltimore actually went five days without a murder earlier this month. From June 4 to June 8 there were no homicides reported in the city.
