BALTIMORE (WBFF) \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe 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,\u201d Worley said. \u201cWe 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.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

Manuel said he would share information if he had it. \u201cIf 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.”<\/p>\n Manuel also said fear could keep people from speaking up. \u201cI 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Another resident, Jemila Garrison, questioned when the violence would end and urged people to break the \u201ccode\u201d of silence, especially when a child is hurt.<\/p>\n \u201cThe violence, I mean, it got stopped. When is it gonna stop?\u201d Garrison said. \u201cIt’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.\u201d<\/p>\n 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.
