The Baltimore Police Department identified the officer who shot and killed Tyree Moorehead as Zachary Rutherford, who has been with the department since March of this year.
The shot was intended for someone in a vehicle in the parking lot of a liquor store, but instead hit a young person standing outside, Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said.

Police Commissioner Michael Harrison declined to comment on the number of shots fired, though 13 shots can be heard on a cell phone video, apparently of the incident, that was posted to social media.
