In another case, also on Sunday, a 17-year-old girl was shot in the head on North Denison Street. Police said she was in critical condition at last check.

Mayor Brandon Scott said in a statement:

“The gun violence witnessed this weekend shows us that there are cowards among us who are willing to take a life, no matter how small or insignificant the beef. We must hold them accountable and rid our streets of the weapons they use to take our daughters and sons away from us.”
