City Police spokesman TJ Smith says the motive of this shooting is "foolishness". Smith spoke with the media a block away from where the quadruple shooting took place at 10:15 Saturday morning in the 1500 block of N. Sticker St. in the Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood of west Baltimore. That's the same neighborhood where Freddie Gray lived and was arrested in April prompting the riots which rocked the city a few weeks later following Gray's death in police custody.
Smith said that two adults and two juveniles were shot. One adult, a 28-year-old man is deceased. A 14-year-old and a 15-year-old and a 26-year-old man were also shot and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Also speaking with the media was Pastor Alfred Vaughn of the Sharon Baptist Church. He and other church members were spending their morning preparing to hand out 500 Thanksgiving meals to the community when the shooting happened right across the street from the church.
Police are making an appeal to family members to share information to help them find the suspect.
