Teen killed; charges filed in Block shooting
UPDATE: City police just identified the teen victim as Raquan Campbell. 15, of the the 2800 block of Bookert Drive in South Baltimore's Cherry Hill neighborhood.
Some disturbing news out of Southwest Baltimore -- a 15-year-old was shot and killed in Carrollton Ridge. This area has historically been a violent hot spot for drug dealing and violent crime. It's near where a little girl was shot and wounded last years.
Few details are available of this latest shooting. Police told Sun reporter Jessica Anderson that the youth was shot in the head about 5:15 p.m. near South Payson and West Pratt streets and died about an hour later at Maryland Shock Trauma Center.
The youth is the 10th juvenile to be killed in Baltimore this year. There were 16 youths killed in all of 2009.
Later Wednesday night, police say a 26-year-old man was shot and critically wounded in West Baltimore. And city police announced that they have charged twin brothers with a double shooting early Tuesday on Baltimore's Block:
Eric Daniel and Derrick Jeffory Crawford of the 900 block of Stoddard Court are charged with attempted first-degree murder and related charges in the double shooting that occurred at about 2 a.m. The shooting was the third violent incident in the heart of the city since Saturday.
Officers were trying to control a crowd leaving clubs near City Hall and police headquarters downtown when the brothers approached a female dancer leaving one of the clubs with a man and opened fire, police said.
