Police say a 21-year-old man is accused of shooting two teenagers in separate Baltimore incidents just days apart

Baltimore, MD — A Baltimore man is facing attempted murder charges after investigators linked him to two separate shootings that wounded teenage victims in the Southeast District within a five-day span, according to police.

Members of the Baltimore Police Department’s Warrant Apprehension Task Force arrested 21-year-old Donnell Thomas on June 11 at a residence in the 400 block of North Port Street.

Police said Thomas was wanted in connection with two non-fatal shootings involving teenage victims.

The first shooting occurred on June 6 and involved a 15-year-old male who was shot in the area of North Patterson Park Avenue. Officers initially responded at approximately 4:46 p.m. to the 700 block of North Collington Avenue after receiving reports of a shooting victim.

When officers arrived, they located the 15-year-old suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. The victim was transported to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Investigators later determined the shooting occurred in the 600 block of North Patterson Park Avenue.

Police also connected Thomas to a second shooting that occurred June 11 in the 400 block of Milton Avenue. Authorities said a 17-year-old male was shot during that incident.

Both victims survived their injuries.
