A 14-year-old boy was shot in the head and killed in south Baltimore’s Cherry Hill neighborhood early Tuesday morning, the third teen killed in the city in a little more than a week.
Police did not release any information on potential suspects in the shooting of the boy, identified as Najee Thomas of Baltimore. Police found him inside a home in the 600 block of Roundview Road with a gunshot wound to his head around 1:15 a.m. after being called with a report of a serious shooting. Thomas died shortly after despite medical attention, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact homicide detectives at 410-396-2100.
The homicide follows the death of Raysharde Kevin Sinclair, 18, who was fatally stabbed in the 5100 block of York Road on April 14; and the April 16 fatal shooting of Michael Mayfield, a 17-year-old baseball player with plans on going to college or joining the military.
