Teen boy, 14, fatally shot in broad daylight on Washington Boulevard

Baltimore, MD – A 14-year-old boy was gunned down in broad daylight Saturday afternoon in South Baltimore, sending shockwaves through the Washington Boulevard neighborhood as homicide detectives launched an active investigation into the deadly shooting.

Around 2:58 p.m., officers responded to reports of gunfire in the 2500 block of Washington Boulevard. When they arrived, they discovered the teen suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Emergency medical crews rushed the boy to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead despite life-saving efforts.

The victim’s identity has not yet been released, and no suspects have been named. Officials have not disclosed whether the teen was the intended target or if there is any known motive. The block where the shooting occurred sits near residential buildings and small businesses, and witnesses reportedly described hearing multiple shots ring out before police arrived.

Homicide detectives are leading the investigation and are urging anyone with information to come forward. Authorities emphasized that tips can be submitted anonymously through Metro Crime Stoppers by phone or online.
