Halloween in North Baltimore interrupted by carryout shooting

UPDATE: Police said this morning that the victim has died.

A man was shot and seriously wounded in an apparent robbery at a troubled carryout store in North Baltimore on Monday night, during the prime trick-or-treating hour, police said.

There were few details available, but police said three suspects approached the victim inside a carryout in the 2900 block of Greenmount Ave., the location of the Yau Brothers restaurant. Yau Brothers is where 72-year-old Charles Bowman was killed during a robbery last year, and where three people were shot a year earlier.

The victim's age and condition were not known, but homicide detectives were sent to the scene due to the seriousness of the victim's injuries, police said. No one else was reported injured.

Police asked anyone with information to call detectives at 410-396-2100.

Three suspects? Did the witnesses describe them as three "suspects" ? The police want you to report on "suspects" with no race,sex or what they looked like.No wonder why crime in Baltimore is so high.

About Peter Hermann

Peter Hermann started covering news for The Baltimore Sun in 1990, first in Anne Arundel County and, starting in 1994, reporting on the Baltimore Police Department. In 2001, he was assigned to Jerusalem as the Baltimore Sun's Middle East correspondent. He returned in 2005 as an assistant city editor overseeing crime coverage. In 2008, Peter returned to the beat as a daily reporter and blogger. A recent BBC report featured him in a segment on the harsh realities of covering crime in Baltimore.

Coverage will focus on crime trends, problems in neighborhoods in the city and elsewhere, profiles of victims and police officers and try to offer readers a fresh perspective on one of the most vexing issues facing Baltimore and its future.

Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore. He was recognized as the best reporter in Baltimore by the City Paper in 2010 and by Baltimore Magazine in 2011.
