No Charges for officers in fatal 2024 shooting of man in West Baltimore, Maryland AG rules
No charges will be filed in a 2024 shooting involving police in West Baltimore, the Maryland Attorney General's Office said Monday.
On October 9, 2024, around 8:45 p.m., an officer with the Baltimore Police Department saw a car go the wrong way on a one-way street and struck a parked vehicle.
The officer approached the vehicle and asked to speak with the driver, Robert Nedd Jr., and asked him to exit the vehicle and sit on a nearby curb.
After sitting on the curb for a few seconds, Nedd stood up and ran away from the officer.
The officer began pursuing Nedd on foot and called for backup. Police caught up with Nedd as he entered a wooded area near the intersection of Argyle Avenue and Pitcher Street, ordering him to stop and show police his hands.
Nedd did not comply and brandished a gun, according to the OAG. After seeing the weapon, police reportedly fired shots. Nedd died at the scene. Investigators recovered a loaded handgun near the scene.
The OAG said it will not prosecute the officers involved in the shooting after determining that none of the officers committed a crime under Maryland Law.

Baltimore Police Department hiring more officers to cut down on overtime, commissioner says
The Baltimore Police Department has made strides to address the vacancies contributing to excessive officer overtime, Commissioner Richard Worley told members of the Baltimore City Council Tuesday night. Recent staffing shortages have forced first responders across Baltimore to work copious amounts of overtime, taking a toll on both employee morale and city budgets. BPD spent $64 million on overtime in the 2024 calendar year, and the city's total overtime burden could reach $150 million in 2025, a May 22 hearing revealed. Clearly expecting the council to grill him on the issue on Tuesday, Worley touted BPD's hiring efforts. The commissioner said his department has hired 47 new sworn officers, bringing its total to 2,023 after dipping below 2,000 officers last October. He also noted that applications for new officers are up 22% from last year. BPD currently has 492 vacancies, but expects about 150 potential officers to graduate from its police academy by the end of 2025. An expansive ad campaign to recruit new officers from within the city is now in effect and will further boost recruitment, Worley said. 'By the early part of next year, I think we're going to be up close to where we only have about 350 vacancies, and it continues on that trend. In three or four years, we'll be up where we should be, which is 2,500 [sworn officers],' Workley said. City Council President Zeke Cohen asked Worley how many of the 492 vacant positions had not been filled in at least 18 months. The commissioner replied it was the 'majority' of them. He said his more aggressive approach to boosting staffing would be 'different' from previous Commissioner Michael Harrison. 'He was my mentor, but I have a different opinion,' Worley said of Harrison. 'I think we will fill these positions within the next three to five years. Because right now, by the end of the year, I think we're gonna have 100 more cops than we have now.' With the department about 80% staffed, the total number of overtime hours worked by BPD employees is expected to drop to 898,000 this year from 914,000 last year. The implementation of stricter overtime request approvals via the human resources software Workday has also helped manage the overload, Worley and Deputy BPD Commissioner Kevin Jones said. The department's proposed $614 million budget for the 2026 fiscal year is a 3.57% increase over fiscal 2025 levels. A decline in state funding from $42.34 million last year to $36.83 million this year has prompted the city to pull considerably more from its operating budget for the police department. The 'Criminal Investigation Division' and 'Compliance Bureau' services received the largest increases, getting about $9.5 million and $7.5 million more than in fiscal 2025, respectively. Anticipated 'Police Patrol' expenses dipped slightly from about $226.5 million last year to $224.5 million this year. Despite the decrease, this service includes $4.2 million more in allocated funds for sworn overtime expenses than was seen in fiscal 2025. Have a news tip? Contact Carson Swick at cswick@

Texas budget bill passes with crime victim compensation fix sparked by KXAN
AUSTIN (KXAN) – The Texas budget bill, following conference committee agreement, has passed the legislature and will soon head to Gov. Greg Abbott for consideration. Included in Senate Bill 1 is a fix to the performance reporting process of the state's Crime Victims' Compensation Program sparked by a KXAN investigation. EXPLORE: KXAN's Crime Victims' Compensation fund investigations In 2022, KXAN began reporting on the impact of delayed payments by the CVC program, which is run by the Office of Attorney General. Amid that investigation, KXAN found the OAG was reporting an inaccurate picture of its performance to state officials and lawmakers. KXAN discovered the office was using a flawed formula that mixed two different types of payments in its calculation: victim claims and sexual assault examination reimbursements, the latter of which take just days and are paid directly to hospitals. That method made it appear crime victims and their loved ones were paid much faster for items like funeral expenses and medical restitution, on average, than the months-long reality our team documented through victim interviews and related records. After KXAN's reporting, the OAG acknowledged to lawmakers that the measurements weren't accurate. The budget bill directs the measurements be split apart, and it provides a 90-day average goal for victims' first payments. The bill also indicates the OAG 'shall submit a report detailing the expenditure of funds' for victim assistance. That report – which is to be submitted within 100 calendar days after the close of each fiscal year to the Legislative Budget Board, governor, Senate Finance Committee and House Appropriations Committee – will include 'audit and oversight activities conducted' related to the grants, thus increasing transparency and accountability for victims under the program. SB 1 next heads to the State Comptroller for certification. The comptroller will confirm the spending bill does not exceed the amount of revenue available. After certification, the bill heads to the governor for approval. The governor does have the power to line-item veto specific appropriations in the bill. Once signed, the bill becomes law.
