Baltimore Police are actively searching for multiple suspects following a deadly quintuple shooting that occurred in the early hours of Sunday, October 18, 2026. The incident took place in the 2800 block of Edmondson Avenue at a BP gas station parking lot, prompting an immediate response from officers after a ShotSpotter alert was received at 10:25 p.m. Police Commissioner Richard Worley confirmed that five individuals were struck by gunfire. Among the victims are a 34-year-old woman and three men, identified as ages 20, 24, and 48, who were found shot at the scene. A fifth victim, a man, arrived at a hospital on his own with gunshot wounds. Tragically, the 20-year-old male and the 34-year-old female have since died from their injuries. The remaining three victims are believed to have sustained non-life-threatening injuries and are receiving medical care. Commissioner Worley stated that investigators believe at least two, and possibly three, shooters were involved in the attack, which was carried out using high-powered weapons. The police commissioner emphasized the prevalence of such firearms in the area, noting recent recoveries of automatic rifles and handguns during weekend arrests. Authorities are currently reviewing area video footage to identify the perpetrators. The Baltimore Police Department is urging anyone with information regarding the shooting or with relevant video evidence to contact them immediately. The public is asked to call 911 for emergencies or reach out to Metro Crime Stoppers at 866-7LOCKUP to provide tips that could assist in the ongoing investigation.
