Baltimore Police seek public’s help identifying three persons of interest in Eutaw Street shooting

What investigators say happened

Baltimore Police are asking the public to help identify three people as part of an ongoing investigation into a shooting near Lexington Market that left five people injured. Detectives have described the three as “persons of interest” and have released images as they attempt to determine their identities and roles in the incident.

The shooting occurred on Eutaw Street, near the Lexington Market area. Police have said the violence followed an argument among a group of people, and that one person was believed to be the intended target. The department has not publicly identified the five victims, provided their ages, or released details about their injuries beyond confirming that five people were hurt.

What “persons of interest” means in an active case

In Baltimore Police communications, the “persons of interest” label is typically used when investigators believe an individual captured on video or in images may have information about an incident—or may be connected to it—but the department has not announced charges. In this case, police have not said the three are suspects, and no arrests were announced alongside the request for identification.

Police have also not released information indicating whether the shooting stemmed from a personal dispute, a retaliatory act, or another motive. No weapon description, shell-casing recovery details, or surveillance timeline has been made public.

Reward offered for information

Metro Crime Stoppers is offering a $4,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and criminal charges in the case. Police are encouraging anyone who recognizes the three individuals to submit tips through official investigative channels.

Why police release images and video

Releasing images is a common investigative step when cases involve public spaces and limited immediate identification of those captured on camera. Detectives often use tips from residents, nearby businesses, and transit riders to confirm names, establish movements before and after an incident, and locate potential witnesses.

• The investigation remains active, with identities of the three individuals still sought.
• Police have not publicly announced arrests or charges tied to the three people in the images.
• Tipsters may be eligible for a reward if information results in arrest and charges.

Anyone with information that could help identify the three individuals is urged to contact investigators or submit an anonymous tip through Metro Crime Stoppers.
