Man Shot In Back, Carjacked By 3 Teens In Baltimore In Critical Condition, Police Say
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Police are investigating after a man was shot in the back in a reported carjacking in Baltimore early Tuesday morning by three teens.
Officers were called to the 2200 block of Park Avenue for a report of a shooting around 3:22 a.m. and found 48-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the back.
The victim told police he gave a ride to three unknown teenagers -- two girls and a boy. When they got to their destination, the teens gave the man $5 and then assaulted him while trying to take his car. Then the boy pulled a gun and shot the victim in the back.
The man was taken to an area hospital. He is listed in critical condition at this time.
John McKoy, a local resident, told WJZ that his family worries about him living in the area.
"Don't go too far that way because you'll get shot down there," he said. "My heart goes out to him and his family because he was probably doing something nice."
Police said the teens got away with the victim's car, a 2015 black 4-door Kia Soul with Virginia tag UTD8899.
Detectives are asking anyone with information regarding this shooting to call (410) 396-2411 or call Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7lockup.
