Police ID slain Baltimore high school student

Another city schools student died Thursday in a hospital after he was found wounded by gunfire in the morning in Northeast Baltimore.

The shooting was one of four Thursday that also left another man dead and two other people injured.

Officers responded to a shooting about 9:45 a.m. Thursday at a gas station on the corner of East Northern Parkway and McClean Boulevard in the Hamilton Hills neighborhood and located a man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound, according to Baltimore Police. He was taken to an area hospital where he died, police said.

Police identified the man Friday as 20-yearold Breon Traquan Ennis.

A city schools spokesperson confirmed that Ennis was a student in the Achievement Academy at Harbor City High School.

The corner serves as a school bus stop, where students were waiting on the bus and witnessed the shooting, city schools spokesperson Sherry Christian said.

City schools were closed to students Friday for professional development, but counseling will be available for Achievement Academy students next week, Christian said.

Ennis is the sixth Baltimore City Public Schools student to be shot and killed this year. At least three times as many have been shot and injured.
