East Baltimore man arrested and charged with attempted murder following Cecil Ave shooting

On June 2 at approximately 6:33 p.m., a 26-year-old man walked into Baltimore City’s Union Memorial Hospital, suffering from a gunshot wound to his back. 

Officers with the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) had previously received a call regarding gunshots being discharged in the 2200 block of Cecil Avenue in East Baltimore, but had been unable to locate a victim until the call for a walk-in shooting was dispatched.

When officers arrived at the 2200 block of Cecil Avenue, witnesses at the scene directed them to 41-year-old Laquan Jones-Hillman.

Jones-Hillman, who lives at that location on Cecil Avenue, was detained by police.  Following the BPD’s preliminary investigation, Jones-Hillman was arrested for shooting the 26-year-old victim.

Jones-Hillman has been charged with 1st and 2nd Degree Attempted Murder and is now at Central Booking waiting to see a court commissioner.
