Three teens charged as adults in Baltimore shooting that wounded 61-year-old man
BALTIMORE, Md. — Three teenagers have been arrested and charged as adults in connection with a shooting that left a 61-year-old man wounded in downtown Baltimore last year, police said.
The shooting happened Oct. 21, 2025, in the 300 block of West Lexington Street, according to the Baltimore Police Department.
Investigators said the violence stemmed from a verbal dispute involving the suspects and the victim.
