"Charm City's Crime Rates Drop, Sparking Hope and Challenges in Baltimore's Future"
Welcome to Baltimore Beat, your source for all things happening in Charm City. I'm Morgan Riley, bringing you the latest news on this Saturday, May 10th, 2025.
Word on the streets of Baltimore is that the city wrapped up 2024 with 201 homicides, marking a significant decrease of 60 compared to 2023. While this trend is encouraging, our community continues to face challenges. In recent days, several violent incidents have occurred, including the tragic death of 21-year-old Rashard Smith, who was shot in the 1800 block of Lorman Street on May 3rd. That same evening, 47-year-old Terrance Todd lost his life following an altercation outside an establishment on Pulaski Highway. Our thoughts are with the families affected by these senseless acts of violence.
In political news, Mayor Brandon Scott issued a statement yesterday regarding the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. Meanwhile, two former Baltimore City employees have filed a lawsuit against Mayor Scott and the City Council, alleging wrongful termination and political retribution.
On a national note with local significance, President Donald Trump has reportedly fired Carla Hayden from her position as Librarian of Congress. Many Baltimoreans will remember Hayden as the longtime leader of our city's library system before her appointment to the national role.
In sports news, Ravens fans were shocked to learn that star kicker Justin Tucker has been cut from the team. This unexpected move comes as we approach the historic 150th Preakness Stakes, which will mark the end of an era before Pimlico's transformation.
Looking ahead, Maryland residents should remember to upgrade to a REAL ID-compliant driver's license before May 7th next year if they plan to board domestic flights. And for those who enjoy Baltimore's landmarks, note that the Top of the World Observation Level at the Baltimore World Trade Center is scheduled to close later this year.
Weather-wise, we're looking at cooler temperatures with decreasing humidity before a nice weekend across Maryland. Today's high is around 58 degrees, with temperatures climbing to 74 tomorrow and reaching 79 by Sunday.
Before I go, I want to acknowledge the Baltimore Blast owner Ed Hale, who recently discussed his potential run for Maryland Governor. Hale joined the 'C4 and Bryan Nehman Show' on Thursday, explaining why he's running as a Democrat in the upcoming election.
