A tragedy that shocked many people last week was the killing of a motorist in downtown Baltimore by a squeegee worker. The confrontation ended with a fatal shooting after the motorist pulled a baseball bat on the squeegee workers. A 15-year-old was arrested in the murder earlier this week.

Squeegee workers, also known as squeegee kids, are mostly teenagers from low-income neighborhoods who clean drivers’ windshields at intersections for money.

Squeegee workers are common in major cities across the country and some complain they are too aggressive, while trying to make a couple bucks.

We’ll here from Robert Lang, Reporter/Anchor at WBAL Radio on Tuesday’s Smart Talk to discuss the squeegee workers and the recent Baltimore tragedy.
