MEDIA ADVISORY Mayor Rawlings-Blake Issues Statement on Baltimore City's 300th Homicide in 2015 |
|

Tonight, Mayor Rawlings-Blake issued the following statement in response to Baltimore City's 300th homicide in 2015: "The 300th homicide is no more tragic than the first homicide of 2015, or the 50th, or the 200th. Every victim leaves family, friends and a neighborhood who mourn their loss. All of us must come together as a community to fight this violence. Unfortunately, the violence we are experiencing in Baltimore is occurring in many cities across our nation, which is why I will be joining with other leaders of the U.S. Conference of Mayors on Monday to meet with Attorney General Lynch to press for more federal assistance. We have brought our city's homicide numbers down to dramatic lows before, and I am confident that we can do it again." |
