BALTIMORE, MD (Thursday, April 2, 2026) - Today, Mayor Brandon M. Scott released the following statement on the police-involved shooting of a 35-year-old man in the 1700 block of Pennsylvania Avenue earlier today:
“The police-involved shooting that occurred earlier today near the Avenue Market on Pennsylvania Avenue has been routed to the State's Attorney's Office, who will conduct a thorough investigation. The City of Baltimore will cooperate fully with the investigation and BPD will also follow our internal investigation protocols. Thankfully, no officers were injured in the incident, and the 35-year-old victim is in critical, but stable, condition.
Whatever the circumstances, any incident like this, traumatizes our community and impacts all of Baltimore. Our hearts are with all of those affected by this incident in every way. With that in mind, I have directed the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (MONSE) to activate a Coordinated Neighborhood Stabilization Response in the area surrounding the incident."
