The teen was rushed into surgery and is expected to survive. On Wednesday, Nov. 13, officers shared a photo of a person of interest in the shooting.

“Turn yourself in. We’re going to find you,” Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said. “There’s too much video. There’s too many witnesses.”

Metro Crime Stoppers offered a $4,000 reward for information, and shortly after a foundation created after a 2022 school shooting in Texas offered a $5,000 reward.

On Saturday, Nov. 16, officers said the 14-year-old suspect turned himself in and was taken to the Central Booking Intake Facility, where he was charged as an adult with attempted murder.
