BALTIMORE, MD — Detectives are asking for the public’s help identifying a man seen riding a small motorbike shortly before a non-fatal shooting in West Baltimore on Friday, May 1. The shooting occurred in the 1600 block of North Carey Street, and investigators believe the individual in the released image may have information critical to the case.
The Baltimore Police Department’s Western District said the person has not been identified and has not been charged. The image, captured in daylight, shows a man wearing a backward blue cap, a dark hoodie, and jeans while riding what appears to be a compact dirt bike or motorized bicycle.
Image released as investigators track leads
Police have not detailed the circumstances of the shooting or the victim’s condition but confirmed it was non-fatal. The decision to release the image suggests detectives are working to identify potential witnesses or persons connected to the moments leading up to the gunfire.
The location—North Carey Street—runs through a densely populated section of West Baltimore, where investigators often rely on community tips and surveillance footage to piece together timelines.
