BALTIMORE (WBFF) — A Texas-based group has joined the effort to help Baltimore police in the investigation of a mass shooting near the Douglass Homes public housing community that left seven people injured, including a 3-year-old boy who remains in serious condition after surgery.

The Uvalde Foundation for Kids added $5,000 to the reward for information that leads to an arrest as Baltimore police continue searching for a suspect.

The shooting happened at about 9 p.m. Wednesday at North Caroline and East Fayette streets. Mayor Brandon Scott and Police Commissioner Richard Worley were at the scene that night as investigators worked to gather details, including a motive and how many suspects were involved.

“We don’t have a whole lot of information right now. We have to look at cameras to see if they’re in a car, if they were on foot, if they are on a bike, a scooter,” Worley said. “We do have looking for any information. We don’t have very much on them right now. We’re gonna work diligently to find out who did this cowardly act.”

Police said all of the victims had non-life-threatening injuries. Residents said Friday, they are watching and waiting, hoping for an arrest and urging anyone with information to come forward.

“You see something, you say something,” said Terrill Manuel, a concerned resident. Manuel said he would share information if he had it. “If I had information that I could give, absolutely. Because it just, it just makes sense. It makes the world better. Especially when you’re met with a catastrophe of such.”

Manuel also said fear could keep people from speaking up. “I think it’s a wonderful idea to have the community engage. (But, some) probably won’t (come forward) because they may be fearful. They may not want to be involved,” he said.

Another resident, Jemila Garrison, questioned when the violence would end and urged people to break the “code” of silence, especially when a child is hurt.

“The violence, I mean, it got stopped. When is it gonna stop?” Garrison said. “It’s sad, you know, sometimes just like laws are meant to be broken, sometimes code is meant to be broken. If it’s a child involved do something about it before it happens again to somebody else’s child. Even if you don’t got Children, put yourself in their shoes for people who do have kids.”

Anyone with information about the case can call Metro Crime Stoppers. Tipsters can remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward up to $7,000. That number to Metro Crime Stoppers, 1-866-7LOCKUP (1-866-756-2587).
