BALTIMORE -- Homicide detectives are investigating a shooting that killed a man in Southwest Baltimore on Sunday, according to authorities.
Officers on patrol in the southwest part of the city were sent to the 2600 block of St. Benedict Street to investigate a report of a shooting around 4:30 p.m., police said.
That's where they found a 25-year-old man who had been shot, according to authorities.
Medics pronounced the man dead at the site of the shooting, police said.
This is the second deadly shooting in Southwest Baltimore's Mill Hill neighborhood within the past six weeks.
In October, a 53-year-old man was shot in the 2600 block of Wilkens Avenue, which runs parallel to St. Benedict Street.

In that case, detectives were able to track down the suspected shooter, police said.
They arrested 35-year-old Travis Rogers several days later and charged him with first- and second-degree murder along with firearms-related offenses, police said.
