BALTIMORE, MD – The Independent Investigations Division (IID) of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General is investigating a fatal police-involved shooting that occurred on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, in the city of Baltimore, Maryland.
The preliminary investigation revealed that at approximately 11:50 a.m., officers from the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) were called to a residence in the 6200 block of Park Heights Avenue for a burglary. One man and two adult women were inside the residence. After officers arrived on the scene, shots were fired from the house. One woman jumped off a balcony into the backyard and was safely removed by officers. Additional shots were fired from the house, injuring one officer. A SWAT team officer arrived on scene and fired a shot that struck the man inside of the house. Medical aid was provided to the man, who was pronounced dead on scene. A handgun was recovered near the man. One officer was injured during the incident and was taken to an area hospital for treatment. Both women sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were also taken to an area hospital for treatment.
The IID will generally release the name of the decedent and involved officers within two business days of the incident, although that period may be extended, if necessary, pursuant to IID protocol.
Anyone with information about this incident, including cell phone or private surveillance video, is asked to contact the IID at (410) 576-7070 or by email at [email protected].
Officers on scene were equipped with body-worn cameras, which recorded the incident. The video will be released in accordance with BPD and IID protocols.
Pursuant to Maryland law, the OAG is required to investigate all police-involved fatalities in the State of Maryland. The OAG and BPD have reached an agreement to allow for the Attorney General’s investigation while still allowing BPD to meet the investigatory obligations of its federal consent decree.
