A shocking video has emerged appearing to show a man in a Ravens jersey sucker punch two opposition fans in a brutal attack .
Cops have now issued an arrest warrant for John Callis, 24, after the video emerged on the streets of Baltimore following a 30-23 win for the Ravens over the Washington Commanders in the NFL last Sunday.
In an arrest warrant posted on social media, the Baltimore Police Department appealed for help in catching the suspect of the 'brutal assault.' Officers said: "In reference to the brutal assault that occurred on October 13, 2024, in the 1000 block of South Charles Street, a warrant has been issued for the arrest of, 24-year-old John Callis, of Baltimore.
"Callis was seen on video assaulting two 23-year-old males following an NFL game. John Callis is currently wanted for first-degree aggravated assault and three counts of second-degree assault."
In the video Callis, wearing a Lamar Jackson number eight jersey, can be seen appearing to walk up to one fan before brutally kicking him and then punching him square in the face. As the victim fell to the ground, the suspect is then seen apparently aiming at a second fan before savagely beating him.
Walking away from the violence, Callis is then heard to shout, 'I don't lose' as he flexes his arm. After he was identified following the circulation of the footage, he was sacked by his employer.
In a statement on X, formerly Twitter, Maury Donnelly & Parr wrote with reference to the footage: "MDP has a zero-tolerance policy for violence and aggressive behavior. This individual is no longer employed with our firm."
Police are continuing to appeal for help and have asked anyone with additional information to contact Metro Crime Stoppers of Maryland at 1-866-7Lockup.
It comes after elsewhere in Baltimore, a man admitted to killing his cellmate in Baltimore's jail two years ago. Gordon Staron, 35, faced first-degree murder charges for the strangulation death of his cellmate Javarick Gantt, a deaf man who used sign language to communicate.
His guilty plea brings an end to a case that raised serious concerns about the operations of the detention center and the city's overwhelmed court system. Jail authorities have declined to comment on why Staron, who was already suspected of murder at the time, was housed with Gantt, who was disabled and facing relatively minor charges.
Baltimore State's Attorney Ivan Bates, who declared last year that he would personally assist in prosecuting the case related to Gantt's death, announced Tuesday that Staron had pleaded guilty .
Staron was already in custody on murder charges in another case when he murdered Gantt. He was recently found guilty by a jury in that previous case, where prosecutors claimed Staron armed himself with an ax and killed a 63-year-old man at a Baltimore bus stop.
He is set to be sentenced on December 19 in both cases. Bates had earlier stated that he would seek life imprisonment without parole for Staron.
