Baltimore police arrest man after fatal stabbing in Harwood home
A 56-year-old woman died after a stabbing in Harwood, and police arrested a 50-year-old man at the scene.
Neighbors on the 400 block of East 25th Street were left with a homicide scene after Baltimore police said officers found a 56-year-old woman inside a Harwood home around 1:40 p.m. Saturday with multiple lacerations. She was taken to a hospital and died there, and officers arrested a 50-year-old man at the scene. Police did not say in the public updates whether the two knew each other.
Homicide detectives are now handling the case and are asking anyone with information to call 410-396-2100. People who want to stay anonymous can contact Metro Crime Stoppers of Maryland at 1-866-7LOCKUP. WMAR listed the killing in its June 2026 tracker as a homicide, underscoring that investigators were treating the death as part of Baltimore City’s daily violence count, not as a routine disturbance call.
For Harwood residents, Baltimore police’s public crime map offers the clearest way to put the block in context. The map is built from general offense reports, covers the past 365 days, and is updated regularly, so neighbors can check whether the area has seen other recent incidents. Citywide, Baltimore ended 2025 with 133 homicides, 61 fewer than 2024, a decline that shows the broader trend even as another home on East 25th Street became the focus of a fatal investigation.
