Police release video of persons of interest in Morgan State shooting

Newly released surveillance footage shows four people being sought over the mass shooting that left five people wounded during Morgan State University‘s homecoming week.

The four are seen walking across a lawn around the time of Tuesday night’s shooting, with three dressed all in black — including one who appears to have his face covered, according to grainy footage released early Thursday.

The clip then cuts to three of the group — including one in a white T-shirt carrying a backpack — rushing back in the opposite direction.

Cops said the four in the video were being sought because they were seen near the shooting at the historically black college, where photos suggest the gunman may have fired through a window from inside a dorm building.

Officials have yet to say how many people are thought to have opened fire.

The shooting is believed to have started as “a dispute between two smaller groups, and one individual was a target of two individuals who had weapons,” Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said, according to ABC News.

Five people — four males and one female between the ages of 18 and 22 — were shot and later transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Four of the victims were MSU students, ABC reported.

Responding officers noticed that multiple windows near the 1700 block of Argonne Drive on campus were shattered, suggesting that the gunfire may have come from a dorm hall, WJZ reporter Kelsey Kushner said at the time.

A shelter-in-place order was in effect from 10 p.m. through 12:30 a.m.

“It’s believed there were three shooters firing into the crowd,” Baltimore City Council Member Ryan Dorsey wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Shortly before the shooting, MSU students, parents and alumni gathered inside the Murphy Fine Arts Center to crown Mr. and Miss MSU, president David Wilson explained at a news conference Wednesday.

Most of the crowd was headed to the student center for more events when the shooting broke out, Wilson added.

All homecoming weekend events — including the big football game — were canceled or postponed until police catch the suspects, the university announced.
