“It’s a tragic situation”

Baltimore citizens told WJZ that they are concerned about the city’s violence, despite city officials’ claims that crime is on the down.

In 2025, Baltimore police reported an almost 50-year decrease in homicide victims. As of Tuesday morning, Baltimore has seen 16 homicides this year, compared to 14 last year.

“I think it’s a tragic situation. Unfortunately that’s the world we live in right now,” said Angel Swann, who often visits Mondawmin Mall.

“I was definitely surprised,” added Baltimore resident Melvin Wilson. “I just think about it happening just last night right here and it’s like, ‘Wow, that’s hitting close to home.”

Baltimore residents told WJZ that incidents like the shootout near Mondawmin Mall have them doubting crime reports from city officials.

“I’m not a believer,” Swann said. “I don’t see it going down and with the weather since the break, it seems like it’s going to get higher and higher.”

“Last year was a fantastic year; there weren’t many occurrences like this, but I’m seeing more of them now,” Wilson explained. “It’s got me kind of shaky, you know?”
