Summary
Leon Day Park became a crime scene around 6:15 p.m. Saturday when gunfire near a youth football homecoming left a 12-year-old girl dead and three adults wounded.
Police said two adult men began shooting during a dispute that may have started over a parking space, and the girl was struck in the crossfire while apparently watching the game.
A 25-year-old woman was found at the scene, while a 28-year-old man and 23-year-old man later arrived separately at hospitals; all three surviving victims were in stable condition.
Baltimore police were still searching late Saturday for at least two suspects and had made no arrests as homicide detectives investigated.
Mayor Brandon Scott said two adults' inability to settle an argument without guns had taken a child's life, warning the killing would reverberate through her family, classmates and community.
