Baltimore Police Department detectives are investigating a shooting on the 200 block of E. Redwood Street that killed one person and critically injured another on June 16.

Around 7:45 a.m., crime lab technicians continued to process the crime scene and evidence, which included two electric scooters and a trail of blood that was tracked from the middle of E. Redwood Street up to Hotel RL on the corner of Calvert Street.

A press release states that when police arrived at the scene, they found two men with gunshot wounds and took them to nearby hospitals. One of the victims, 25-year-old Ryan Harris was pronounced dead, while the second 29-year-old victim was listed in critical but stable condition. 

According to multiple witnesses, the shooting occured around 4 a.m. and involved three individuals. A man staying at the SpringHill Suites Marriott said he was woken up to the sound of gunshots shortly before 4 a.m.

“I was in the Army, so I know the sound of gunshots when I hear them,” he told Baltimore Witness.

The motive of this homicide is currently unknown. 

Anybody with information is asked to call detectives at 410-396-2100 or call Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7lockup if they would like to remain anonymous.
