This happened yesterday and I wouldn’t have known about it had a neighbor not emailed me.
A person was killed, it wasn’t news, and nobody officially publicly announced or acknowledged it except me, after confirming w/ BPD that it even happened. https://t.co/CPjFmjJozR
The woman was taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview, where she was pronounced dead at 6:15 a.m.
The driver of the Malibu remained at the scene.
City Councilman Ryan Dorsey, who represents the area, commented on Twitter: "This happened yesterday and I wouldn’t have known about it had a neighbor not emailed me. A person was killed, it wasn’t news, and nobody officially publicly announced or acknowledged it except me, after confirming w/ BPD that it even happened."
