Officers hung yellow tape around the BP gas station in the 1500 block of Havenwood Road in the Hillen neighborhood, blocking off the street into the Northwood Commons shopping center. It was unclear where exactly the shooting took place. A glass window near the gas station’s entrance appeared to be shattered from gunfire.

Several police cars were parked around the gas station, lighting up the night sky with flashing red and blue light as shoppers filtered out of a nearby grocery store. Police officials and detectives walked in and around the gas station, talking to potential witnesses and surveying the scene.

In South Baltimore, officers arrived around 11:10 p.m. at the 3900 block of South Hanover Street in the Brooklyn neighborhood, where Tremaine Thomas Jr., 26, was shot in the head. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Police said homicide detectives have not identified a suspect or motive.

Anyone with information about the shootings is asked to contact homicide detectives at 410-396-2100.
