On the night of Nov. 24, 2025, Chloe Weems, a 29-year-old Black woman from Baltimore, was fatally shot during a double shooting in West Baltimore. Police were called to the 900 block of Poplar Grove Street shortly before 11 p.m., where they found Weems suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite the rapid response by officers and medics, she was pronounced dead at the scene, her life ending on the sidewalk of a residential block that had already seen its share of violence.
Alongside Weems, a
31-year-old man was also struck by gunfire in the same incident. He was initially reported to be in critical condition but was later listed in stable condition after being transported to a local hospital. The shooting was one of several violent incidents that occurred over that weekend in Baltimore, underscoring ongoing concerns about gun violence and public safety in the city. Authorities described the event as part of a string of violent crimes that kept first responders and detectives busy across multiple neighborhoods.
In official statements released shortly afterward, the Baltimore Police Department confirmed Weems’ identity, the details of the location, and the timing of the shooting. Homicide detectives were assigned to investigate the case, canvassing the area for witnesses and surveillance footage and appealing to the public for information about what led up to the gunfire. At the time of the available reporting, no arrests had been announced in connection with Weems’ killing, and no specific suspect or suspects had been publicly identified by the police. The case remained an open homicide investigation, with detectives seeking leads to determine who was responsible and why Weems and the second victim were targeted.
