BALTIMORE (WJZ) — There were two shootings in Baltimore in broad daylight, just blocks apart. A teenager is dead and police are hoping anyone who witnessed these shootings will step up and report what they saw.

Ava-joye Burnett reports police believe the shootings are connected.

Three teenagers were shot in just a matter of hours; now one of them is dead.

“Oh, now that’s upsetting, yes. That’s upsetting,” said Barbara Phares.

Phares just learned that the young man shot in the chest on her street was only 16.

“When I came to the door and looked out, I saw the young man laying flat on the ground,” she said. “He was right here.”

That 16-year-old, identified by police Tuesday as Joseph Payne of 4th Street, later died at the hospital.

Just two hours earlier, another shooting also involved teenagers. Young kids forced to walk through crime scene tape to get home.

“My greatest fear is there is going to be a lot more shootings and a lot more killings in this area,” said Sabrina Johnson.

Both shootings happened on Patapsco Avenue just blocks apart in broad daylight. Police are urging people to come forward if they saw anything.

“At some point, we have to say enough is enough. The only way we are going to get that small number of people that are responsible for these violent crimes over and over again is by providing information so we can bring them into custody,” said Lt. Jarron Jackson.

A violent day in the Brooklyn neighborhood left residents on edge.

“Heartwrenching. I don’t want to see anybody get hurt. It’s not good,” said Paul Matusky.

The 16 and 18-year-olds who were also shot were both taken to the hospital but are expected to survive.

Police questioned some people in the area Monday but if you know anything, please call Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7-LOCKUP.
