Baltimore police say Latrina Ashburne, 41, was getting into her vehicle May 27, 2016, when she was approached by an unidentified male suspect, as seen in the video. The victim tried to run from the suspect, but was shot. At approximately 7:30 a.m., Northern District patrol units responded to the 2900 block of Rosalind Ave. for a report of the shooting. Upon officers arrival, they located the victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper body which proved fatal.
The 300 Men March was launched in 2014 as Baltimore's homicide rate was approaching 300. Now, the rate has reached 200 and seems again to be heading for 300 deaths ("Baltimore homicide toll reaches 200," Aug. 30).
Maybe it is time for a 300 (or more) Mothers and Grandmothers March to complement the men marching. It couldn't hurt and maybe would do some good.
