At this time, Baltimore Police cannot confirm that these are the suspects involved in the shooting of Sgt. Isaac Carrington.
Sgt. Carrington was off-duty when he was shot and robbed while standing in front of his Northeast Baltimore home Thursday afternoon.
He is in the intensive care unit at Shock Trauma and after at least two more surgeries Friday he remains in critical condition.
Baltimore City FOP President Mike Mancuso visited Sgt. Carrington in the hospital today and tweeted thanking everyone for their concern and to continue praying for his recovery.
President Mancuso is currently at Shock Trauma and reports that Sgt. Carrington remains in stable condition. Thank you for your overwhelming concern and we ask that you continue to pray for our Brother!
