Baltimore police Commissioner-designate Darryl De Sousa is at the scene with investigators.
"We had a couple of days that we didn't have a homicide in the city, and I really hate to put a number on it because, at the end of the day, that number is a narrative, and that's somebody's life, somebody's child that is unfortunately going to have to get buried," De Sousa said. "We're trying to keep the officers encouraged; they're doing a great job. It's still early in the year. We think they're making progress. We just have to keep pushing with the crime-fight, making sure the officers have support out there on the streets and give them the best training possible."
