Surveillance footage obtained by WMAR-2 News shows the moments that led up to a deadly shooting on 1:45 Saturday morning in Federal Hill. A group of about 10 people gathered in the alley off Cross Street. A fight breaks out. Someone pulls a gun and starts shooting.
You can see the victim, now identified as 24 year-old Christian Leight, running away. He was taken to University of Maryland Medical Center Shock Trauma, where he later died.
Another angle shows two police officers stationed on Cross Street around 1:45 Saturday morning, looking on as crowds enjoy nightlife in the popular Baltimore neighborhood. The video shows the officers respond as they hear the shots ring out, which sent dozens of people running in the opposite direction.
On Monday morning, candles were still lit in front of a T-shirt with Christian’s photo on it, surrounded by bouquets of flowers, balloons, and messages written on the pavement.
There was a bullet hole in one of the windows at Cross Street Market, which was closed at the time of the incident.
