Police have arrested a 15-year-old boy in connection to the killing of a man after an argument with a group of squeegee workers, authorities say.
The teen was arrested at around 6:35 a.m. on Thursday, July 14, at a home in Essex. The boy has been charged as an adult with first-degree murder for the killing of Timothy Reynolds, 48, according to Baltimore police.
Reynolds was killed in the unit block of East Conway Street on Thursday, July 7 after a confrontation with the workers.
“Today’s arrest in the July 7 homicide at Pratt and Conway Streets is another sad reminder that guns are too easily accessible to our young people. We have seen time and time again the willingness of individuals to illegally carry and use these weapons. And we know they make the decision to do so the moment they leave the house, not just when they pull the trigger,” said Police Commissioner Michael Harrison.
The case is still under investigation.
"As I’ve said continuously – any person that endangers the safety and well-being of anyone on the streets of Baltimore, will be held accountable. Now we must all support our community in healing especially the impacted families,” Mayor Brandon Scott said in a statement.
“As we allow this case to be handled by the appropriate parties, we must continue to do all we can to prevent people – especially young people – from having to engage in activities that put the lives of others or their own lives at risk
