Shooting

Baltimore police believe the Friday-night spray of bullets that killed a 16-month-old boy and wounded his father was a setup, according to court records released Tuesday. Police have charged Cornell Harvey, 26, and Eddie Tarver, 20, with first- and second-degree murder in the death of Carter Scott. The child's father, Rashaw Scott, 22, was critically injured in the attack. Father and son were sitting in a red Chevrolet parked at the Cherrydale Apartments in Cherry Hill, police said, when three men wearing latex gloves fired at least 16 shots into the vehicle.

Baltimore County police said a man was shot in the leg on Monday near the city-county line. Police responded to the emergency call at 4:07 p.m. in the 900 block of Leeds Ave. and took the man to an area hospital, Baltimore County Lt. Robert McCullough said in a news release. Detectives from the county's Violent Crimes unit are investigating. Further details weren't immediately available, and McCullough urged anyone with any information about the shooting to call police at 410-307-2020.

Another man was shot in Baltimore early Monday morning, extending the Memorial Day weekend violence into the holiday and bringing the number of shootings to at least eight. An unidentified male was taken to an area hospital after being shot in the arm and stomach a few blocks from Lake Montebello, police said. Police have no motive or suspect information at this time, Det. Angela Carter-Watson said. The victim was discovered in the 1600 block of 32nd St. at approximately 3:27 a.m. At this time there is no update on the man's condition, she said.

Police charged a Southwest Baltimore man with attempted first-degree murder in a shooting at DePaola's Pub in Halethorpe early Saturday. Derrick Joseph Leonard, 34, of the 2600 block of Wilkens Ave. is accused of shooting at Carl Linton, 23, who was working security at the bar. Police said Leonard was intoxicated and Linton was escorting him out of the bar when Linton was shot. Linton retreated into the bar, and Leonard followed him back inside, firing additional shots, police said.

Police made a second arrest and were tracking other suspects Monday in a double shooting that killed a 1-year-old, an attack that angered public officials amid a bloody holiday weekend in which gun violence wounded or killed a dozen people. Cornell Harvey, 26, of the first block of Glenwood Road was charged with first- and second-degree murder and assault in the shooting death of 16-month-old Carter Scott; the child's father, Rashaw Scott, was also critically injured Friday. Police had arrested another suspect after a chase through the Cherry Hill area immediately following the shooting, but did not say what led them to Harvey.

Three men wearing latex gloves, two in hooded sweat shirts, fired at least 16 shots as Rashaw Scott sat in the driver's seat of a parked red Chevrolet — his 16-month-old son, Carter, was in the back passenger seat — in what police say was a targeted shooting that left the child dead. Scott, 22, of Harlem Park, described the scene inside the Cherrydale Apartments complex in South Baltimore to police before he was admitted to surgery, according to an arrest warrant obtained Sunday.

A man was stabbed in Dundalk Friday and another man was shot in Halethorpe early Saturday, Baltimore County Police said. The shooting happened at DePaola's Pub on Sulphur Spring Road around 2 a.m. after a person was thrown out by a bouncer, according to police.

Baltimore police said an officer who was integral in arresting a suspect in the Cherry Hill shooting that killed a 1-year-old boy Friday night shot a suspect connected to a Saturday afternoon shooting near a downtown deli.
