On April 12, at approximately 12:33 a.m., Southwest District patrol officers with the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) received multiple calls to the 1000 block of Wildwood Parkway in reference to discharging.

Once there, officers located a crime scene in that block, but found no victim(s).

Officers were then called to the 3900 block of Edmondson Avenue where they spoke with a 27-year-old male who stated he was just involved in an altercation with another male that produced a handgun and began firing at him. The 27-year-old male, who possessed a gun permit, also produced a handgun and returned gunfire at that male before both parties fled the location. Officers on the scene verified that this individual was in fact, legally in possession of a firearm.

A short time later, Western District officers responded to Wheeler Avenue at Franklin Street for a shooting.

Upon arrival, officers located a 25-year-old male inside of a vehicle, suffering from gunshot wounds. The victim was transported to an area hospital by medics where he is currently in critical condition.

Investigators have determined that this 25-year-old male was the other shooter involved in the Wildwood Parkway incident.

Southwest District detectives are investigating this incident. Charges are pending.

Anyone with information is urged to contact detectives at 410-396-2488 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7Lockup.
