A 31-year-old died Monday after being shot Aug. 20 in South Baltimore, and a 42-year-old died last week after being shot nearly two decades ago, according to Baltimore Police.

Police said that the 31-year-old, identified as Rodney Lee, was found critically injured by a gunshot wound after officers responded at 11:10 p.m. Aug. 20 to the 2700 block of Fisk Street in Cherry Hill.

Lee was taken to a hospital, where he died on Monday, police said.
