Baltimore police say a suspect has been arrested in the rape and shooting of a 20-year-old woman in West Baltimore.
The victim was seriously injured in the Saturday night attack. Police on Monday issued a plea for community help and, as TJ Smith told C4 on Wednesday, they got it.
"The community rallied around...all hitting on streets, knocking on doors," Smith said. "We were able to link this person to the crime."
Smith said that within 24 hours, community members, clergy and police were able to identify that suspect.
"We want the community more than anything to know that we appreciate them and that that bad guy is not going to be in a position to harm any more women anytime soon," Smith said.
The suspect has not yet been identified, but Smith said a press conference will be held later Wednesday.
