The Baltimore Police Department is investigating four deaths that have occurred in the city since the beginning of March, including a homicide, a murder-suicide, and a fatal hit-and-run.

Police said 27-year-old Taijah Addison was found dead in a vehicle in the 700 block of Yale Avenue with a gunshot wound just before 1 p.m. Thursday.

Addison was pronounced dead at the scene of the residential area in the Yale Heights neighborhood. Police arrested 27-year-old Matthew Crawley for the death.

This comes after two deadly incidents unfolded on Tuesday.

The Accident Investigation Unit is investigating a fatal hit-and-run that happened around 11 p.m.

Police were called to the 100 block of South Hilton Street, a residential area in the St. Joseph’s neighborhood near churches and a gas station, for reports of a hit-and-run.

Police found a woman with “serious injuries” who medics brought to a nearby hospital where she later died. Police have not identified the woman who was killed or released details about the vehicle that struck her.

Earlier that same day and shortly after 8 p.m., 41-year-old Shakeira Cooper and a 38-year-old man were found fatally shot in the 1000 block of McAleer Court, police said. The deaths in the Oldtown neighborhood are being investigated as a possible murder-suicide.

This year is on track to be a fourth consecutive year of homicide decreases in Baltimore. So far this year, there have been over 20 homicides and more than 40 non-fatal shootings. The department recorded 31 killings and 71 non-fatal shootings around this same time last year.

In 2024, 201 people died by gun violence. Communities across Baltimore memorialize the deceased in various ways, including one Mount Vernon church that hangs purple ribbons along their walls and recites victims’ names and prays for them every Sunday.
