Three people, including a 15-year-old, wounded in daytime Northeast Baltimore shooting near Hillen Road

What investigators say happened

Three people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds after a daytime shooting in Northeast Baltimore on September 26, 2022. The incident occurred shortly before 3 p.m. in the 1800 block of East 28th Street, near Hillen Road.

Police said the victims included a 15-year-old boy, along with two adult men, ages 23 and 25. All three were taken to a hospital with injuries believed to be non-life-threatening.

Scene details and investigative steps

Officers established a perimeter around the scene as detectives and crime lab personnel processed the area. Investigators documented evidence locations that extended from a home’s front yard into the street, a pattern consistent with an active scene search rather than a single fixed point of evidence recovery.

A police K-9 unit was deployed during the response. The dog’s work and the broader scene processing focused in part on a vehicle parked near the evidence-marked area. That vehicle was later towed as part of the investigation, indicating it was treated as potential evidence or a potential source of trace material, video, or witness information.

Detectives also spent extended time inside a nearby rowhome within the taped perimeter while officers sought surveillance video in the area. As of the most recent public account connected to this incident, no suspect had been publicly identified and no arrests were announced.

Why the timing drew added attention

The shooting occurred during a window when many schools dismiss students for the day. The time of day placed the incident in a category of violence that can intersect with student travel routes and neighborhood foot traffic, even when victims are not all school-aged.

What remains unknown

• Whether the shooting involved a targeted dispute or an indiscriminate exchange of gunfire.
• Whether the victims were together at the time they were shot or were struck in the same area under separate circumstances.
• Whether surveillance footage or witness statements identified a suspect, a vehicle, or a direction of travel.
