Baltimore man charged in Falls Road shooting that injured woman, man
A Falls Road shooting left a woman in critical condition and later added a 31-year-old man to the victim count. Dion Khun was arrested weeks later and charged with attempted first-degree murder.
Baltimore police have charged a 36-year-old man in an April shooting on Falls Road that left a 23-year-old woman critically injured and later turned out to involve a second victim as well.
Dion Khun was charged May 29 with attempted first-degree murder and taken to the Central Booking Intake Facility, police said. Warrant Apprehension detectives arrested him on May 20, more than five weeks after the shooting in the 1800 block of Falls Road in the Eastern District.
Police said Eastern District officers were called to the block at about 3:14 a.m. on April 12, 2026, for a report of a shooting. There, they found a 23-year-old woman suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Medics took her to a hospital in critical condition.
Investigators later determined that a 31-year-old man was also shot in the same incident. Police said Khun was injured as well. The case moved from the street to a formal murder charge only after detectives pieced together the wider victim count and made the arrest.
The Falls Road case was part of a violent stretch that police said left at least five people injured in Baltimore shootings over roughly 12 hours that weekend. A separate advisory from the same morning described another shooting in the Southeast District, where two men, ages 31 and 35, self-checked into a hospital with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Police said the location of that shooting had not been determined.
The timing matters for a city still trying to drive down violence while confronting a stubborn number of shootings. Mayor Brandon M. Scott said May 1 that Baltimore had recorded 33 homicides and 89 non-fatal shootings through April 2026. He also said April had the fewest homicides for any single month since at least 1970.
For residents near Falls Road, the case now sits at the intersection of two realities: a neighborhood shooting that sent a woman to the hospital in critical condition, and a citywide pattern in which fatal violence has eased but gunfire continues to injure people across Baltimore. Police are asking anyone with information to call Eastern District detectives at 410-396-2433 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7Lockup.
