Any life lost to violence in our city is one too many. I want to thank the brave men and women of @BaltimorePolice, our community violence intervention ecosystem, @OAGMaryland, @BaltimoreMONSE, @BaltimoreSAO, and most importantly, our residents for their collective work to make our neighborhoods safer than they've been in decades.

My team and I are just as committed to this work today as we have been since day one.
