The Baltimore Police Department updated the public July 15 about a police-involved shooting two days before that left a homicide suspect dead and two officers injured.
According to a press release, the two officers, Anthony Lansey and Earl Thompson, have been released from The Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland Medical System after seeking treatment for multiple gunshot wounds.
Police were searching for a suspect and vehicle wanted in connection to the murder of 38-year-old Ali Hanes on June 19 on the 1000 block of W. Lanvale Street.
On Tuesday, officers observed the vehicle on the 6100 block of Security Boulevard in the parking lot of Security Square Mall in Woodlawn, Md. After exiting the vehicle, the suspect, Baltimore resident Justin Powell, reportedly opened fire at the officers, striking them.
Multiple officers shot back at Powell, 32, who succumbed to his injuries after being taken to a local hospital.
Baltimore County Police are handling the criminal investigation of Powell, while Baltimore Police are investigating the police-involved shooting.
