Police in Baltimore tweeted that they are still actively looking for 23-year-old Demetrius Thompson, who is wanted for attempted murder after shooting a female downtown early Friday morning.  On June 8 at approximately 6:03 a.m., Baltimore Police officers responded to Light Street for a report of a shooting.  Once they arrived on the scene, officers located a female suffering from a gunshot wound to the face.
