BALTIMORE (WMAR) — A man was shot and killed Monday in Southwest Baltimore, marking the city's 344th murder of 2019.

It happened around 11:20 a.m. in the 2000 block of Eagle Street.

The victim was found at the location with gunshot wounds to the body, and later died at an area hospital.

WMAR-2 News cameras captured crime scene technicians inside a corner mini mart.

The incident adds to a Baltimore record already set this year for most murders per capita.
