Darryl Gamble Death News: 43-Year-Old, Darryl Gamble in Baltimore Police-involved Shooting
Darryl Gamble Death News: The day in June when five police officers are accused of killing a wanted man in Southeast Baltimore during a gunfight is seen on body camera video. On Wednesday, the BPD made public “a compilation of ring doorbell cameras, security videos, and body-worn cameras,” according to Deputy Commissioner Brian Nadeau of the BPD’s Public Integrity Bureau. Around 5:30 p.m., a deadly bullet was fired in the 100 block of Milton Avenue.
At that point, police started firing, killing 40-year-old Darryl Gamble. After the fatal gunfire, acting police commissioner Richard Worley informed the media that Gamble was wanted on a warrant.
After the surveillance tape was made public, Worley claimed that the warrant had been issued for the possession of a gun and drugs. Just before the shooting, according to the authorities, Gamble tried to flee.
Near Patterson Park, on Fairmount Avenue and Milton Street, where Gamble’s car broke down, according to police, a gunshot broke out. Worley claimed that Gamble then started shooting, striking a police vehicle.
Nadeau stated that he was now in possession of a 30-round magazine and a Glock.40 caliber. A second round of gunfire was also started by extra police enforcement on the opposite side of the street.
During the exchange of gunfire, according to Nadeau, Gamble allegedly threw away his first weapon and took an AK-47-style weapon with rifle ammo out of his bag. According to Nadeau, police discovered a stolen pistol with an eight-round magazine and a shotgun with five rounds in Gamble’s truck.
Gamble was fatally shot by the cops. According to early information, the cops fired about 40 bullets during the altercation, Nadeau added. He said, “Investigators have discovered 33 round casings connected to Gamble’s firearms.”
The Maryland Attorney General’s Office disclosed the names of the police officers involved in the shooting on July 3. According to the Maryland attorney general’s office, the incident involved officers Matthew Banocy, Nicholas DeJesus, Austin Gutridge, Connor Johnson, and Nevin Nolte.
A minimum of two years’ service with the Baltimore Police Department was required for every officer. According to state officials, Gutridge had the most experience because of his 10-year tenure.
Banocy and DeJesus were transported to the Eastern District, while Gutridge and Johnson were sent to the Southeastern District, according to state authorities.
State officials revealed that Nolte had been moved to the Southeast/East Side Initiative in the interim. Worley commended the police officers for their “courageous work” and “outstanding job.”
Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the deadly police shooting are being conducted by the Independent Investigations Division of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General.
The Boston Police Department’s Special Investigative Response Team is also assisting with the investigation. Thanks to a new statute passed by the state legislature this year, the attorney general of Maryland now has the ability to bring charges against officers after a police shooting.
Following the fatal police shooting of George Floyd in Minnesota in 2020, a number of policy improvements were implemented in 2016 in response to public uproar over a lack of accountability. The legislation builds on such adjustments.
All five officers are placed on administrative leave pending the conclusion of the inquiry by the Independent Investigations Division of the Maryland Office of the Attorney General.
