Around 9:20 p.m. Sunday, officers found Daniel Taylor suffering from gunshot wounds in the 500 block of E. Cold Spring Lane in the Kernewood neighborho­od. Emergency medical services transporte­d him to the hospital in serious condition. Taylor, 35, later died.

Three people were shot in or near the Upton neighborho­od over the course of 12 hours, police said.

A 40-year-old man was shot in the right ankle around 10:45 a.m. in the 900 block of Druid Hill Avenue, police said. Paramedics transporte­d him to the hospital. His injury is not considered life-threatenin­g.

Six hours later and nearly 200 yards away, officers located a 36-year-old man who was shot in his left leg after arriving around 5:15 p.m. in the 900 block of Pennsylvan­ia Avenue in Heritage Crossing, police said. He was transporte­d to a hospital. His injuries are not life-threatenin­g, they said.

Around 11:40 p.m., a 31-year-old man was shot several times in his shoulder, police said. Officers located him in the 1000 block of McCulloh Street, and he was transporte­d to the hospital with injuries that are not life-threatenin­g.

Also Sunday, a 30-year-old was shot in his back and buttock in the early morning, police said. Officers arrived around 2:05 a.m. at the 2900 block of Presbury Street in the Northwest Community Action neighborho­od for a report of shots fired when they located the man. Paramedics transporte­d him to the hospital, where he remained in stable condition Sunday.

Police also are investigat­ing a triple shooting early Saturday at a BP gas station on Reistersto­wn Road in Woodmere.

A person flagged officers around 4:10 a.m. and told them a man had been shot at the gas station. Officers located a 22-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to his left leg. A minute later, officers were notified of a shooting 400 yards away in the 4100 block of W. Belvedere Avenue and located a 37-yearold man who was shot in the left arm.

Around 5 a.m., a 47-year-old man walked into an area hospital with a gunshot wound to his right calf. Officers later determined he also had been shot at the BP gas station. The three victims suffered injuries that are not life-threatenin­g.

Police on Monday also identified four homicide victims who were killed recently.

Justin Lewis, 22, was killed Friday in the 3600 block of 5th Street in Brooklyn. Adrian Morris, 19, was killed Thursday in the 5400 block of Belair Road in Waltherson. Kennard Wilds, 27, and Robert Carter, 33, were killed Friday at the 3300 block of Garrison Boulevard in Central Forest Park.

Police arrested Terril Johnson, 21, on Monday in connection to Morris’ death. Johnson is charged with second-degree murder and several handgun offenses. Officers believe Johnson shot Morris in the chest after an argument.

Morris died at Johns Hopkins Bayview. Johnson is being held at the Central Booking Intake Facility and did not have an attorney listed in online court records.

The city has recorded 113 homicides and 229 nonfatal shootings this year.
