Suspect Charged For Summertime Mass Shooting In Baltimore: Police

Eric Kilber, 43, is facing charges in connection to the fatal shooting of 36-year-old Anthony Martin in August, authorities announced.

Shortly after 8 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 18, officers were called to the 1300 block of North Spring Street, where there were multiple reports of shots fired.

Upon arrival, officers from the Baltimore Police Department found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds, and later, more victims walked into area hospitals for evaluation of similar injuries.

In total, eight shooting victims were identified by officers, including Martin, who was pronounced dead by first responders.

According to police at the time, the victims include a 36-year-old man, a 46-year-old man, a 23-year-old man, a 40-year-old man, a 41-year-old woman, a 45-year-old man, a 22-year-old man and an unidentified man.

"Tonight, Baltimore is grappling with the impacts of another mass shooting event that has taken the life of one Baltimorean and irreparably changed several others," Mayor Brandon Scott said in a statement at the time that proved prophetic.

"Investigators from the Baltimore Police Department will diligently work to find and hold those who are responsible accountable for this horrific act of violence."

Kibler was charged with first-degree murder and additional offenses.

"These tragic acts of violence - which are still too common in our city - are only possible because of the continued ease of access to guns on our streets," Scott continued during his statement this summer.

"We cannot acknowledge this tragedy without acknowledging the role that the proliferation of guns plays in endangering our communities."
