Boy, 15, Charged With Attempted Murder In West Baltimore Shooting

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A 15-year-old boy is under arrest in an April shooting in West Baltimore that sent a man to the hospital, authorities said Thursday.

The unidentified teenager was taken into custody Wednesday and charged as an adult with attempted first-degree murder, according to Baltimore Police.

The charges stem from a shooting that unfolded about 9 a.m. April 13 in the 2000 block of Bryant Avenue in West Baltimore, police said.

Officers responding to that call found a 22-year-old man shot multiple times. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries.

The victim's condition was not immediately clear Thursday morning.

There's no word yet on a motive behind the shooting. Police did not release details about what led to the 15-year-old's arrest.
