Shooting Early This Morning Being Investigated As a Hate Crime
 
Baltimore, MD - Early this morning, a 50-year-old man was shot in the 600 block of N. Howard Street (near W. Centre St.), while walking home with his same-sex partner. The victim was taken to the hospital and was listed in critical condition. TheBaltimore Police Department has reason to believe this crime was motivated by the victim's sexual orientation.

We encourage people to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings while in the Mt. Vernon area until the suspects are apprehended and to call 911 to report any suspicious activities or people.
