BALTIMORE — Baltimore Police are investigating a double shooting in the 4600 block of York Road Friday night that killed a DPW sanitation worker and injured another.

Mason later died at an area hospital.

Police have released no information on a potential motive or suspect in the case.

Mayor Brandon M. Scott issued the following statement on the shootings of the two Department of Public Works Employees:

"Creating a better Baltimore starts with hardworking city employees who work tirelessly to deliver key services. It is unacceptable that these public servants have to worry about their personal safety while dedicating their lives to move our Baltimore forward. As Mayor, I am committed to working with Commissioner Harrison and City Administrator Shorter to keep city employees safe and out of harms way. I ask that you keep the families of the two solid waste workers in your prayers as we gather more details."
