BALTIMORE — Local prosecutors have not charged officers in any of the police-involved fatalities that the attorney general’s office has completed investigations for, according to an inaugural yearly report released Tuesday by the office’s unit that probes police killings statewide.
The report by Attorney General Brian Frosh’s office’s Independent Investigations Division included information from the 23 police-involved deaths the unit investigated from its inception Oct. 1, 2021, to Sept. 30. Over that time, police shot and killed 13 people, seven people died during or as a result of officer pursuits, and three people died in police custody.
The attorney general’s report showed minorities are killed by police in Maryland at a disproportionate rate, which mirrors national statistics. The vast majority of those who died were men.
