"It's not safe anywhere in the city," James White told WJZ Investigator Mike Hellgren.
Early Sunday, just after 4:30 a.m., police responded to what they thought was a single-vehicle collision on I-95 at Caton Avenue. They found 25-year-old Sai Charan Nakka from Hanover, Maryland, shot in the head. Doctors pronounced him dead at Shock Trauma.
MDTA police shut down the interstate for several hours for the "suspected homicide" investigation. They are still looking for witnesses but have not said whether the motive was road rage or something else.
Police believe no one else was in Nakka's 2022 Hyundai Tucson at the time. He was traveling southbound away from downtown.
Anyone with information about this incident should call 443-915-7727.
"There needs to be more cameras around," Avery Hopkins said. "As a whole in Maryland, we need to come together and stop this violence."
