Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown announces that charges will not be filed against Baltimore Police officers involved in the fatal shooting of suspect Anthony Ferguson on May 24, 2024. The incident occurred while officers were investigating a prior shooting that had injured multiple individuals, ultimately leading to a confrontation where Ferguson was seen armed and exchanged gunfire with police.
During this confrontation, Ferguson reportedly shot one of the officers in the chest, although he was protected by a bulletproof vest. The Attorney General’s Independent Investigation Division concluded that no crimes were committed by the officers under Maryland law, leading to the decision not to pursue charges. This investigation is part of the IID’s ongoing work, which has addressed over 70 police-involved incident cases since its creation in 2021.
