Man killed, two injured in Park Heights triple shooting
A 20-year-old man was killed and two others wounded on West Cold Spring Lane, deepening a spate of multiple shootings across Baltimore since Thursday.
Gunfire in Park Heights left a 20-year-old man dead and two others wounded in the 2700 block of West Cold Spring Lane, adding another violent scene to north Baltimore as police investigated a fresh triple shooting. Baltimore police said units were called shortly before 3 p.m. Sunday, and officers tried life-saving measures on the young man after he was found shot several times. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two other victims, an 18-year-old man and a 32-year-old man, later arrived at an area hospital with gunshot wounds. Police described them as walk-in victims and said both are expected to recover from injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
The Park Heights shooting came amid a burst of violence across Baltimore since Thursday that included two triple shootings and two double shootings. For a neighborhood that has been a centerpiece of the city’s violence-reduction work, the killing underscored how quickly a fragile stretch of calm can give way to another crisis.
Park Heights has been one of the city’s most closely watched areas for interventions run through the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement and Safe Streets Baltimore. In February, the city said the Safe Streets Park Heights site had gone more than a year without a homicide in its catchment zone, a milestone that officials tied to community investment and violence interrupters. The last homicide there before that mark was on Jan. 12, 2025, in the 4400 block of Reisterstown Road, and the site had carried out more than 230 mediations over the prior year-plus.
The wider violence picture in Baltimore has shifted but remains volatile. Baltimore City ended 2025 with 133 homicides, 61 fewer than in 2024, and May 2026 brought 8 homicides and 32 non-fatal shootings, according to WMAR-2 News reporting. Sunday’s killing now leaves detectives to sort out what happened on West Cold Spring Lane and whether it fits into the city’s latest cluster of multiple-shooting cases.
Police asked witnesses or anyone with information to call detectives at 410-396-2100.
