2 teens killed, 2 young men wounded in Winchester shooting, police say

Two teenagers were killed and two other young men were wounded in a shooting in Baltimore’s Winchester community on Friday evening, police said.

Officers responded to the 2800 block of Ellicott Drive around 5:15 p.m. Friday for a reported shooting, Baltimore Police officials said in a news release. Upon arrival, they located an 18-year-old who had been shot, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Three other men — ages 19, 21 and 22 — walked into a hospital with gunshot wounds shortly afterward, police said. Officials said the 19-year-old was pronounced dead by hospital staffers while the two other injured men were in stable condition.

Recent mass shootings

This is at least the second multi-victim shooting in Baltimore in less than a week.

On Oct. 3, 12-year-old Khloe Ishway was fatally shot and four other people were injured after two men who fought over a parking spot near Leon Day Park exchanged gunfire.

Hundreds of people marched to call for justice and an end to senseless violence, and community members held a vigil to memorialize Khloe.

Tyree Reynolds, 23, faces attempted murder, murder, assault, reckless endangerment and other related charges for the shooting.

Reynolds, who served time for his role in a 2021 shootout, was released from prison eight days before the park shooting after a senior official in the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement vouched for him.

Last month, seven people were shot, including a 3-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, in a nonfatal incident in East Baltimore that police believe was connected to an ongoing gang dispute.
