BALTIMORE — One of six victims wounded in a Saturday night mass shooting in North Baltimore has died.

Jerome Michael Coateson, 38, died Sunday morning at the hospital after being listed in critical condition.

Shots first rang out around 8:45pm in the 5100 block of Queensberry Avenue.

Police Commissioner Richard Worley said a group of people were outside eating crabs when the alleged shooter(s) pulled up and fired.

Investigators can't say yet whether the victims were targeted.

Based off the high number of spent shell casings located on-scene, Worley said he doubts the shooting was done in drive-by fashion.
