On Wednesday, Sept. 13, members of the Baltimore Police Department apprehended a 15-year-old inside a city residence, making him the latest to be arrested for the July shooting in the 800 block of Gretna Court that left two dead and 28 others wounded at a summer block party.
He was taken to the Central Booking Intake Facility, where he was charged with 44 offenses that include:
Attempted first-degree murder;
- Conspiracy to commit first-degree murder;
- Attempted second-degree murder;
- Reckless endangerment;
- Loaded handgun on a person.
"(The Baltimore Police Department) continues to work aggressively and diligently on the criminal investigation into the July 2 Brooklyn Homes critical incident," acting Commissioner Richard Worley stated.
Aaron Brown, 18, and a 14-year-old were arrested over the summer in connection to the shooting that left Aaliyah Gonzalez, 18, and Kylis Fagbemi, 20, dead,
The incident is believed to have the largest number of shooting victims in any one single shooting in Baltimore’s bloody history.
Brown was arrested in August for attempted murder in an unrelated case, officials say, and while he was behind bars, investigators developed enough evidence to link him to the mass shooting.
He was charged with 75 offenses, including multiple counts of conspiracy to commit murder and attempted first-degree murder. He is still being held without bond.
"Beginning to heal the trauma of this horrific mass shooting is going to require accountability," Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott previously said said.
Police say that they are still looking for multiple suspects in connection to the fatal shooting after 18-year-old Tristan Brian Jackson was also arrested on dozens of similar offenses.
"We and our partners have heard the calls from the community that they want justice for the victims of this reckless, deadly shooting," ATF Baltimore Special Agent in Charge Toni Crosby said. "That is something everyone in our agencies want to give them."
A complete 173-page after-action report on the shooting that was released over the summer can be found here.
