what? chi town is worse. what hold Baltimore back is we used to be the city people came to in the 60s & 70s for a better living. people hold us to our 60s & 70s reputation. Billie Holiday and many others including New Yorkers came to Pennsylvania ave to blow up. the industry still think Baltimore is like the 60s & 70s and hold us back. so yeah I feel the is ndustry jealous of our city past. new Yorkers act like we rich cause we in row houses! Baltimore was a rich black city.. but now its this.

Quintuple shooting continues surge in Baltimore violence

City police identified a man who was killed in a Wednesday shooting that injured four other people, and said one of the surviving victims and a man who were seen running from the scene have been charged.
The fatal victim was identified as Darell Alston Jr., 26, who was also identified on social media as a local rapper known as "Nazty."
Police said Andrew Parmele and Shilo Thomas have been charged after being spotted running from the scene of a vehicle accident in the area of the shooting. Parmele suffered a gunshot wound to his arm. They are charged with handgun violations after guns were found in the vehicle they were running from, police said.
Thomas is also a rapper, known as "Shymoney." Both Alston and Thomas had gained attention in recent months for producing "diss tracks" attacking other rappers, who filmed response videos. Nazty's video had more than 90,000 views on YouTube, while one posted by Shymoney has more than 430,000 views.
Police have declined to discuss the case or identify other potential suspects.
The shooting broke out around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday in East Baltimore. The crime scene stretched nearly a half-mile, shutting down traffic along East Monument Street. That day, a police commander said officers had been in the area and heard shots, and pursued a group of men.
One man was arrested there, and another was chased through an alley and apprehended. Police had SWAT units respond to a home on North Linwood Avenue, where another man - with a bullet wound to his shoulder - was eventually removed and taken away on a stretcher.
