Body-worn camera footage shows a gunman gunned down by Baltimore police

BALTIMORE – Baltimore police released body-worn camera footage of a fatal officer-involved shooting earlier this month.

The Oct. 9 incident occurred in a wooded area around Pennsylvania Avenue and Pitcher Street.

The video begins after Robert Phillip Nedd, Jr., 54, crashed into a parked car while driving the wrong way on a one-way street.

The incident is seen through the camera and point of view of Sergeant Thomas Gross.

Gross introduces himself to Nedd first, before asking him to sit on a curb.

The sergeant then requests medical attention for Nedd to rule out any injuries related to the accident.

That’s when Nedd runs off with Gross in hot pursuit.

Nedd hides against a fence in a nearby dark wooded area.

Dirty notes seeing something in Nedd’s hand.

Security officers Tyler Douglas and James Klein are the next to arrive on the scene.

They are posted on the other side of the fence, while ordering Nedd to show his hands.

As the three officers approach, at least one yells at Nedd to “drop him.”

Within seconds, shots ring out, leaving Nedd dead. A gun was recovered near his body.

After the shooting, Police Commissioner Richard Worley commented on the officers’ actions.

“From what I saw preliminarily, they did what they thought was the best thing in the situation, and unfortunately for the suspect, he didn’t survive.”

An internal investigation is ongoing.
