The shooting happened around 7:20 p.m. on September 27 in the 1200 block of Riverside Avenue, in the Riverside neighborhood, a small neighborhood adjacent to Federal Hill, the district of houses, shops and bars that tends to be a catch-all for that area of South Baltimore. The shooting occurred blocks away from Digital Harbor High School.
Officers called to the scene found Moriconi with a gunshot wound to his upper body.
Officials say Moriconi was later taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead from his injuries.
