A man shot by police in Upton on Tuesday evening died later that night, Baltimore Police confirmed Wednesday.

Police said the man was declared dead at 11:14 p.m. after being transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center for treatment.

Authorities have not released the man’s identity.

Officers who were patrolling the area around Pennsylvania Avenue and Laurens Street around 7 p.m. Tuesday approached the man who they believed to be armed, Police Commissioner Richard Worley said Tuesday night.

The Maryland Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division released new details on Wednesday about the shooting. In the preliminary investigation report, the Independent Investigation Division said officers were in an unmarked cruiser when they approached the man.

The man wore a crossbody bag while standing on a corner as officers attempted to speak to him from the unmarked cruiser, the Office of the Attorney General said. An officer got out of the car and began following him.

According to the attorney general’s office, the man shifted his crossbody bag from back to front before running off.

Police said that during a chase and attempt to detain the man, he shot at officers and three officers shot at the man. Police said one officer was shot in the foot and taken to Shock Trauma.

The Attorney General’s office does not confirm whose gun initially discharged but said the man pointed a firearm at the three officers who then fired multiple shots at the man.

A tense scene unfolded in the aftermath of the shooting as bystanders confronted police, calling it an incident of police brutality. Dozens of police vehicles filled the street and officers pushed people back from the scene of the shooting.

Foxtrot, the BPD helicopter, flew overhead telling people to disperse.

Worley said officers were disrupted by the crowd in their attempts to provide medical aid to the man after they shot him.

“The crowd actually interfered with our ability to give the victim aid. They basically swamped and swarmed our officers,” Worley said Tuesday. “Officers from all around the city had to come to kind of quash the disturbance so that we could get the victim to the hospital.”

Police said the officer who was shot is an eight-year veteran of the department and scheduled for surgery Wednesday afternoon. The officer, who has not been identified, is in “fair” condition, police said.

The morning after the shooting, it was business as usual in the area.

People congregated in front of T&M Carry Out and a convenience store, both near the intersection of Laurens Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Some were checking out a restaurant that had just reopened, known in the neighborhood for very cheap platters.

Mauricio Dubon Chicas, who recently started working at the Green Demon Smoke Shop across from the Upton subway station, said the street has generally been quiet. He was working the late shift Tuesday night when he heard several shots. He initially thought they were fireworks, then he saw the commotion.

This is the fourth police-related incident in Baltimore that the IDD is investigating so far this year, but only the second to involve BPD.

Jai Marc Howell, 26, was fatally shot by police in May. Body camera footage from the shooting released by investigators showed a detective shout, “I’m going to shoot you, bro. You better put it down” as officers chased after — and shot — Howell.

Worley said Howell had a gun and shot at officers at least twice.

Other fatal incidents in Baltimore involved the Maryland Transportation Authority Police and a bailiff inside the East Baltimore district courthouse.

All of those cases remain under active investigation by the attorney general.

There were three fatal interactions involving Baltimore Police in 2024. In all three cases, the attorney general declined to bring charges.
