Police: Woman Killed Then Burned In NE Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ/AP) -- Baltimore police are investigating two more slayings as the city continues to endure a spike in violent crime.

Police say shortly after 6:30 Sunday morning, authorities found a woman's body inside a burning house in northeast Baltimore. Police believe the woman was killed and the house was then set on fire.

Earlier Sunday morning, police say officers found a 22-year-old man who had been shot multiple times in northwest Baltimore. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. Police believe the man was walking in a parking lot when someone approached and shot him. Police said later that it was in the parking lot of Pimlico.

Police have not identified a suspect in either slaying.

There were 42 homicides in Baltimore last month, making it the city's deadliest in more than 40 years.
