Prosecutors detailed a litany of what they said were examples of Taranto’s erratic behavior before his arrest.

Gun violence such as the recent mass shooting in South Baltimore has a lasting effect on how many Baltimore young people view their lives and their community, says Adam Schwartz, an author who has taught high school in Baltimore for 25 years.

The 20-year-old was one of two people shot and killed at a neighborhood event in the Brooklyn section of South Baltimore.

The pandemic and the national racial reckoning led to a surge in patients and clients for Black therapists. Some of those therapists are still processing the experiences themselves.

A preliminary investigation indicates the shooting was 'domestic-related,' police said.

“He certainly has not committed any sort of violent crime,” said Michael Clinkscale, the teen’s attorney, outside the John R. Hargrove Sr. District Court Building.

Those who agreed to speak to The Banner, some in Spanish, reported racist language and intimidation directed at Latino residents from Charles Smith and members of his family.

The staff at MedStar Harbor Hospital is used to tending gunshot wounds once every other week. But last weekend they treated two-thirds of the Brooklyn mass shooting victims.

Simon wrote that Williams, more so than other actors made famous by “The Wire,” took heed of the show’s message to challenge mass incarceration and drug policy and “continued to deliver on that message in word and deed.”

Police identified the woman Saturday as 45-year-old Lakisha Wheeler.

Political experts say voters will remember what could be the largest shooting in city history — and Mayor Scott’s leadership in the aftermath.

Baltimore City officials and Safe Streets passed out food, offered help, and staged a march in the aftermath of the mass shooting in Brooklyn.

Under the newly drawn districts, police department officials have shifted certain areas of the city that had more violent crimes into larger districts that are historically even more violent, a Baltimore Banner data analysis found.

The teen’s attorney says police are alleging his client pulled a gun out of a bag several hours before the shooting.

Two people were killed in the shooting that broke out around 12:35 a.m. Sunday, and the wounded ranged from age 13 to 32.

In one instance, the teacher allegedly “held a knife against one of the victims and asked if he should ‘use it,’” according to police.

Police have charged one man with assault and other offenses and were searching for two other people, a woman and a man, whom they plan to charge with assault.
