BALTIMORE — Deadly violence in Baltimore continued Thursday as three more people were killed, two within a minute apart in West Baltimore.

The latest incident happened just before midnight around Poplar Grove and Brighton Street where a 38-year-old man was fatally stabbed.

One minute earlier, a 42-year-old man died at the hospital after being shot in the head on Schroeder Street.

An hour before that, a 22-year-old man took himself to the hospital after being shot in the head while driving in the 1700 block of Franklin Street.

He's expected to survive.

A little more than an hour before that, a shooting in the 1200 block of West Lombard Street left a man in critical condition. The victim has been identified as 34-year-old Marcus Anthony Roberts. He later died from his injuries.
