A community cookout in West Baltimore turned deadly on April 28, 2019, when gunfire erupted in the 2500 block of Edmondson Avenue. Derrell Briscoe, 28, was among the crowd and was struck during the shooting; he collapsed behind a nearby church and died of his wounds.

Police say a Black male suspect approached the intersection and fired indiscriminately into the crowd, wounding six other people — a 30-year-old woman and five men aged 27 to 58 — who were treated at area hospitals with injuries described as not life-threatening. Investigators believe a second person may have returned fire, but that has not been confirmed. The shooting was reported as unrelated to activity at the nearby church.

The lone shooter fled and remains at large; no arrests have been announced in Briscoe’s killing. If anyone was at the cookout or has information about the shooter or a possible second gunman, please share what you know.
