City police were investigating the shooting death of a man found early Monday near the North Avenue District Court building.
An officer in the area of Harford Road and Bonaparte Ave. at about 1:30 a.m. heard gunshots, then saw a vehicle with visible bullet holes pass by, said a police spokesman. The vehicle came to a stop, and the officer saw that the unidentified driver was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:30 a.m.
Police believe the shooting occurred several blocks south at the intersection in the 1700 block of Harford Ave., when a man on foot approached the victim's vehicle and opened fire.
The shooting was the second over the weekend in that area, after 20-year-old Marquis Jones was fatally shot in the 2200 block of Aiken St. just a few blocks over. Police haven't released any additional information on Jones' killing, including any possible link between the cases.
Police also identified the 23-year-old man killed Friday night in the 1500 block of E. 29th St. as Christopher McMillion, of the 1400 block of Gorsuch Ave. All three cases remain open and are under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at 410-396-2100.
