A shooting in Northeast Baltimore left one woman dead and four people injured on Monday evening.

A Baltimore Police Department officer was patrolling Belair Road, a busy commercial corridor in Belair-Edison with restaurants and retail, around 10:54 p.m. when he heard gunshots near Mayfield Avenue, police said. Once he responded, he found two men, ages 24 and 20, with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and a 54-year-old woman who had also been shot.

The woman, who police later identified as Erica Sterling, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers learned two other men, ages 25 and 31, walked into an area hospital around that time with non-life-threatening injuries.

Councilman Ryan Dorsey, who represents Belair-Edison and lives near where the shooting happened, said he heard the shots Monday night. “You hear gunfire from time to time, and it’s always unsettling,” he said. “This was more rounds than I think is typical.”

Anyone with information about this incident should contact homicide detectives at 410-396-2100 or call Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7Lockup.
