Charles Jeffreys, 39, was shot on the night of August 7, 2019, on the 1100 block of Mosher Street in West Baltimore. Police were dispatched about 9:10 p.m.; he was found with gunshot wounds and taken to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, where he later died. Early reports mistakenly described the victim as 24, a discrepancy later corrected when police publicly identified him as Charles Jeffreys.

The shooting happened amid a fast-moving string of gunfire across the city that night. Not long before the Mosher Street attack, an officer encountered people shooting at each other near North Fremont Avenue and Lanvale Street; the officer fired at the armed individuals, who fled and were not reported injured. Two other men were killed in separate shootings within about two hours of Jeffreys’ death.

As of the reports published immediately after the incident, no arrests had been announced, no suspect or motive was named, and investigators asked anyone with information to contact Baltimore homicide detectives or Metro Crime Stoppers. If anyone knew Charles Jeffreys or has information about the Mosher Street shooting, please come forward to investigators.
